Abstract

Pathways towards a post-carbon society are being explored across all levels of government, within the scientific community and society in general. This chapter presents scenarios for cities and regions in Australia after the Age of Oil, particularly the energy-intensive state of Western Australia (WA). It argues that a post-carbon WA would ideally use technological and wider social choices to reduce carbon emissions close to zero. It focuses on policy requirements, institutional and governance arrangements and socio-technical systems to provide an industry-focussed renewable energy development plan that will help to balance ongoing and past emissions and lead to a low-carbon society.

Fußnoten
1
These targets still fall well short of bringing the EU on a trajectory towards meeting their 2050 objective of reducing emissions by 80–95 % compared to 1990 levels.
 
2
In addition, a carbon price alone was not going to deliver structural changes to Australia’s economy. Despite the introduction of the carbon tax in 2012 emission-intensive industries such as mining, metals and energy continued to receive disproportionate protection, either through large government subsidies, emission exemptions or considerable funding for research into ‘clean technologies’ (e.g. carbon storage) [21, 22].
