Yes. We focused on the mitigation side. We may look at adaptation in a future report.
On the mitigation side, as you mentioned, the farming community is part of the solution in terms of both reducing emissions and helping sequester more carbon through good practices. They can work on both sides of the GHG ledger, if you want to call it that, in terms of both reducing emissions and sequestering and storing more carbon. They also directly benefit from measures to mitigate climate change for the reasons that you mentioned in terms of at least mitigating some of the extreme weather events and droughts and water shortages that would only increase if we allowed unmitigated climate change to proceed worldwide.
They really are, as you said, at the forefront of this. I'm very disappointed to see...and it's not just us asking for the strategies. The centre of government asked this department for a strategy four years ago, and there still is no strategy. If they were able to reduce emissions through their programs without the strategy, that would perhaps be defensible, but if you look at exhibit 5.2, emissions have been rising steadily for the last 30 years and also rising steadily since 2005.
