But rarely are these arguments framed in terms of the impact on ordinary Australians. How will the transition to renewables keep electricity prices low for households? Given our continued reliance on fossil fuel exports, can Australia avoid falling off an economic cliff in the coming decades, compromising quality of life? What will it cost our nation if large swathes of the country are at risk of climate-related disaster?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this clear-sighted volume, Woodroofe argues that Australia needs to elevate climate change to our top foreign and economic policy priority.
