Position Statement on Climate Change
- Minimise emissions of greenhouse gases across all stages of production
- Recognise that large changes to the greenhouse gas contributions of the Australian wine industry are likely to have little impact on climate change
- Develop methods to more accurately assess the extent to which climate change would impact on wine grape production at a regional level
- Develop methods to enable the Australian wine industry to accommodate expected climate change
- Encourage all tiers of government to adopt a consistent approach to greenhouse gas and climate change including adaptation strategies
- Encourage Australian governments to use a broad range of mechanisms (from regulatory to market mechanisms) to manage climate change/ greenhouse gas contributions eg pricing, tradable quotas, offsets
- Encourage Australian governments to subject all climate change / greenhouse gas policies to rigorous economic assessment to determine the impact on regional, state and national economies
