Mr Howard said a report, to be released today by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE), showed that by adopting cleaner technology greenhouse gas emissions in the six nations taking part in the summit would fall by 20 per cent by 2050.
The report would show that the spill-on effect would be a 13 per cent cut in greenhouse gas emissions around the world, he said.

"On this basis the adoption of new technologies are therefore a credible and essential part of any suite of measures needed to reduce global emissions growth," he said.
