<P>The effects of Climate Change and Australia’s role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions are becoming an increasingly important issue confronting us all. A vitally important aspect of the timely reduction of our emissions is the right choice of those energy options which can not only bring about reductions as quickly as possible but also be sustainable well into the future. The mix of options that prove optimal today may not be those best suited in 30 to 50 years time. The program below brings together experts in the various energy sectors to provide basic information on individual options and their effectiveness in attacking the greenhouse problem. The day’s proceeding will conclude with a public forum in the National Convention Centre for a general discussion with the audience on these issues.<BR><BR><B>Program</B><BR><BR>8.45am<BR><CITE>Welcome and introduction</CITE><BR>Professor
