Chapter 7 Australian Participation in the IPCCC
Other IPCCC Activities
Australia has contributed to other IPCC activities such as
through hosting the joint IPCC, Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD) and International Energy
Agency (IEA) Expert Group Meeting on Biomass Burning, Land Use
Change and Forestry, in Rockhampton, Australia from 15 to 18
September 1997. In December 1999, Australia hosted a meeting of
Working Group II TAR lead authors in Canberra. In February 2001,
the Bureau of Meteorology and the AGO jointly organised an IPCC
Climate Change Science Forum in Melbourne, aimed at informing
industry, government and the media on the findings of the
IPCC’s TAR. The Forum, hosted by the Director of
Meteorology, focused on the Working Group I and II components of
the TAR, with Australian lead authors presenting the key
findings.
