Victoria’s farming and forestry industries will be able to play a major role in tackling climate change through the establishment of the Victorian Carbon Exchange, Premier John Brumby announced today.

Under the Taking Action for Victoria’s Future, Victorian Climate Change White Paper – The Action Plan, the Victorian Carbon Exchange will allow farmers, the forestry industry, community and Government to voluntarily offset greenhouse gas emissions through a central offset purchasing system that will see incentives for tree planting and improved farming practices.
