| Marking 40 years of the Outlook conference series in 2010. ABARE's 40th anniversary national Outlook conference drew leading international and national speakers to debate the key issues facing Australia’s agriculture and natural resource sectors. Sessions included the keynote economic overview, farm performance, trade, irrigated agriculture, water and commodities and other topical issues. Papers and presentations from the conference are now available for quick download from the conference website. The Outlook conference has a strong record in providing essential economic information and analysis to the public, private and corporate sectors. For delegates, it is a valuable forum to assess current industry trends and market forecasts for a range of sectors. ABARE is the leading organisation producing year ahead and five year forecasts for Australia’s major export commodities. At Outlook 2010 ABARE released projections covering Australia’s key agricultural and resource commodities, found in the March issue of Australian commodities.

| The Boat House Group is a forum for invited international climate change negotiators and modelers to discuss issues of mutual interest. While each of these groups has many opportunities for exchanges amongst themselves, there are fewer opportunities for interaction between the groups. Importantly, both developing and developed countries are well represented. | |||||||||||||||
