Transport is currently the third-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia, amounting to 21 per cent of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2023. If left unchecked, transport emissions are on track to be the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia by 2030. All Australians now have an opportunity to share their views on the most effective options for governments, business, and the community, to reduce emissions in the transport sector by 2050.
The Australian Government’s Transport and Infrastructure Net Zero Consultation Roadmap identifies opportunities for productivity benefits and innovation through decarbonising transport and transport infrastructure. This feedback will guide the development of the actions and policies the Australian Government will commit to in the final Transport and Infrastructure Net Zero Roadmap and Action Plan, which will be released later this year.
