The Australian Governments carbon measuring system has picked up the CSIRO Partnership Excellence Award.
The National Carbon Accounting System (NCAS), designed by the Department of Climate Change in conjunction with the CSIRO and the Australian National University, aims to gauge greenhouse gas emissions from forestry, land clearing and farming.
Climate Change Minister Penny Wong said the tool underpinned Australias national emissions accounts and assisted in devising strategies to cut emissions from land management practices.
