Local people will have the opportunity to directly influence the Federal Government's White Paper on the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) at a meeting in Berridale, Thursday November 6, Member for Eden-Monaro, Dr Mike Kelly has said.

Dr Kelly said that local views on climate change and the carbon pollution reduction scheme will be fed directly to Climate Change Minister, Penny Wong's office for input into the White Paper due out at the end of the year.

Dr Kelly and Clean Energy For Eternity (CEFE) will host the Berridale meeting in an effort to garner opinion on the Government's current Green Paper on CPRS and also to look at solutions to climate change issues.

The climate change forum will give members of the public a chance to hear first hand about the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme and give their views, feedback and suggestions on the scheme and strategies for tackling climate change, Dr Kelly said.

"After these meetings in Bega and Berridale I will be taking the feedback from these meetings back to Minister Wong," Dr Kelly said.

CEFE founder, Dr Matthew Nott, said: "This is a huge opportunity for us to help shape policy through Mike Kelly. I understand that the comments will go directly to Penny Wong's office and that she has made a special allowance to include this feedback."

Ms Wong's office confirmed that there were numerous levels of consultation going on and that they expected to be releasing Treasury modelling on the CRPS at the end of this month.

Dr Nott encouraged everyone to attend the Berridale meeting November 6, 5.30-7.30pm.

Sue Edmondson, CEFE, Snowy Mountains committee member said that the meeting wouldn't be a talk fest on the problems of climate change but rather a chance to hear ideas and practical solutions from inspiring speakers.

Dr Matthew Nott, the founder of CEFE, will give an update on windfarm development on the Monaro.

Dr Mark Diesendorf from the University of NSW will talk about why action is so urgently needed and the renewable energy solutions.

David Shapero will talk about the Hepburn experience of developing a community owned windfarm in Daylesford, Victoria.

Dr Kelly has called climate change the single biggest challenge this country has faced since World War II and has said that he wants to use the forum to ensure the community has a voice and an opportunity to comment on the CPRS Green Paper.
