Abstract
This chapter offers an extensive overview of climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. The Australian carbon farming policy as one of the means to tackle the wicked problem of climate change has been discussed in detail. This chapter also explores the role of landholders as change agents in the uptake of carbon farming policies.
