The Greenhouse Indicator

The Greenhouse Indicator provides accurate and real time information on greenhouse gases produced each week from energy use. It is a unique tool designed to bring greater understanding to the issue and to help track greenhouse gas emissions in selected Australian States.

Each and every week we release greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Because they can’t be seen, it is difficult to understand how much is being produced.

All countries provide a detailed annual report of their greenhouse gas emissions. But such reports are normally released up long after the emissions have occurred. Thus this information, while comprehensive and critical for policy planning and scientific assessment, arrives too late for us to respond to it in the manner necessary to tackling this problem.

The Greenhouse Indicator puts a figure on what is happening and enables everyone to follow how much we are emitting each and every week.

The Purves Environmental Fund is proud to support The °Climate Group’s Greenhouse Indicator. The fund works to advance environmental sustainability in Australia and to preserve our unique biodiversity, primarily through education. Climate change is perhaps the most serious threat to environmental sustainability and biodiversity that we have ever faced.
