Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) welcomes the opportunity to make a submission on the Carbon Leakage Review Consultation Paper (consultation paper). Carbon leakage is the relocation of industrial production outside of Australia on the basis of a difference in carbon policies. The carbon leakage review has been progressed because of Australia’s updated and reformed carbon reduction policies, including changes to the Safeguard Mechanism based on the legislated target of a 43% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 (on 2005 levels).
