South West Climate Change Forum (SWCCF)

http://www.swccf.com.au/

This site aims to keep primary producers informed of the latest developments in climate change and offers detailed information and data for the south-west region. It includes specific information for the various primary producers involved in the Forum, including dairying, timber, fishing, livestock and cropping.  Also has tips for how primary producers could adapt to likely climate change and it also highlights the potential impacts on specific industries in the south-west.  Another section of the website gives ideas to primary producers on how to reduce their carbon footprint and explains the developing carbon trading market.  For livestock based industries there are also examples of what likely costs of an emissions trading scheme could be for a farm and how those emissions could be offset.
