This report published in August 2009 by Australia's CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) estimates the amount of greenhouse gases that can be stored or mitigated by changes in rural land use in Queensland and more broadly, Australia. Key finding 1: With committed research and policy efforts, a large amount of carbon could be stored or greenhouse gases abated in Australia's rural lands and this could significantly offset our emissions over the next 40 years.
