Internal Code: 1HHBG

Report Writing Assignment:

Task: The Australian Government introduced a Carbon Tax in 2012 to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and to tackle the serious environmental problem of climate change. The Coalition Government introduced a Direct Action Plan to replace the Carbon Tax and to achieve the same goal of greenhouse gas mitigation. Compare and contrast the two policies of the real-world scenario and evaluate the likely impacts of both policies on your selected corporate case/sector by applying the knowledge gained from the course. In your response, as a minimum, you should: 1) Describe the predicted climate change impacts on your chosen case or sector. 2) Discuss the rationale and the theoretical underpinnings of a carbon tax and compare it with the Direct Action Plan. 3) Identify various risks and opportunities for the chosen sector or firm in a carbon-constrained world. 4) Outline appropriate adaptation strategies.
