National Carbon Accounting System
The National Carbon Accounting System (NCAS) tracks greenhouse gas sources and sinks from the land. Land-based sources and sinks are of key interest to Australia, forming around 30% of the national emissions profile from activities such as land clearing, cropping, grazing and forestry. Accurate emission data are needed to plan for optimal greenhouse and natural resource management outcomes.

Emissions projections
Projections are a key information input to Australia's greenhouse policy agenda. Projections underpin assessment of the effectiveness of existing measures, and the development of least cost options for further abatement.

Natural Resources & Agriculture
One of Australia's environmental challenges involves the effective management of our natural resources (soil, water, plants, animals). Ensuring the ecologically sustainable management of natural resources is a critical issue if Australia is to maintain the health of our environment, conserve our land and biodiversity, and continue to be a major agricultural producer and exporter.
