This Act for National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER ) provides for a single national reporting framework for information related to greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, energy production and energy consumption. At present, organisations that are (1) Constitutional corporations; and (2) Meet an NGER threshold; must report their greenhouse gas emissions, energy production, and energy use for a reporting year for each year in which they meet a threshold. The legislation includes regulations and guidelines for measurement of emissions, energy production and use to ensure standardisation of terms and measurement data. The Act aims to provide the basis for the future introduction of an emissions trading scheme. Legislation, Standards and Codes may be linked to one or more of the University's compliance frameworks either as the driver of the requirements, or as a component of the framework. The relevant frameworks are listed below.National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (Cth) - Level 3
