Australian Greenhouse Office

The Australian Greenhouse Office (AGO) is the world's first government agency dedicated to cutting greenhouse gas emissions. It was established in 1998 as a separate agency to provide a whole of government approach to greenhouse matters.

The AGO delivers the Commonwealth Government's $1 billion climate change agenda, including the following initiatives:

boosting renewable energy actions and pursuing greater energy efficiency;
investing significant resources into greenhouse research and monitoring Australia's progress towards its Kyoto target through the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory;
studying the landscape of Australia through the National Carbon Accounting System;
investigating the possibility of a domestic emissions trading scheme; and
encouraging industry, business and the community to use less greenhouse intensive transport.

As an organisation, the Australian Greenhouse Office needs and encourages the involvement of all Australians in order to achieve their mission.
