***Global Carbon Project Seminar on August 7th***

We are proud to announce that Josep Canadell, Executive Director of
the Global Carbon Project will be presenting a seminar for us on
Tuesday the 7th of August. He'll be talking about the latest research
to come out of the Global Carbon Project on the carbon absorption
capability of forests and the ocean. Should we be giving a higher
priority to land management and use to reduce carbon emissions?

We'll have more details when we can book rooms for next semester.

In order the further improve environmental performance the ANU has
established a Green Loan Fund, that will provide funding for projects
that demonstrably reduce the environmental impact of the ANU in
critical areas like water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and
waste management.
