Climate Change Impacts Globally 75% of the world's fresh water is stored in glaciers 85% of the world's glaciers are in retreat Qori Kalis glacier in Peru is shrinking at a rate of 200m pa – 40 times as fast as in 1978 Hundreds of millions in China, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and USA rely on glacier and snow melt for water

Impact on developing countries 65 developing countries (½ the developing world's population) risk losing 280 million tonnes of cereal production as a result of climate change. $56 billion, 16% of agricultural GDP of these countries. 1 1 UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, June 05

Australia’s Emission Reduction On 15 December 2008 the Prime Minister agreed to reduce emission by 5% by 2020 based on 2000 levels This increases to 15% if there is a global agreement IPCC says developed countries should reduce emissions by 25 – 40% by 2020 based on 1990 levels By 2020 the UK reduce emissions by 26% - 32%, Germany by 40% and Sweden by 25% EU 20% by 2020, going to 30% with a comprehensive international agreement

China Not historically responsible Reduce energy intensity by 20% below 2005 by 2010, reducing projected emissions by 1.5 billion tonnes China committed to retiring 50GW of inefficient coal and oil fired power plants by 2010 (Australia’s total capacity is 40 GW) China has higher fuel efficiency standards for vehicles than Australia, Canada and the US.

Coal Industry Success Under the CPRS the coal-fired power stations get $3.9 billion over five years Australia’s emissions intensity of its electricity supply is the highest of any OECD country It is 98% higher than the OECD average and 74% higher than the world average
