Read the Transport and Infrastructure Net Zero Consultation Roadmap and the posed questions throughout the document. Broad comments and views are also welcome.What will be the outcome of this consultation?
Your submission will inform the final Transport and Infrastructure Net Zero Roadmap and Action Plan, which will help Australia to achieve net zero by 2050.The Issue
Transport is currently the third largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia, and without further action is projected to be Australia’s highest emitting sector by 2030.
In 2022, the government legislated Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, to reach net zero by 2050 and 43% below 2005 levels by 2030.
We’re committed to developing the Transport and Infrastructure Net Zero Roadmap and Action Plan, which will explain how we will transition to a net zero economy, consistent with our international and domestic commitments.
The roadmap and action plan are being developed in 2 stages. The first stage is this Consultation Roadmap, which sets out the potential pathways for transport and transport infrastructure to contribute to net zero by 2050. It doesn’t set out the actions or policies that will be taken by government to support these potential pathways. The actions or policies to be taken by government will form the basis of the final action plan, which is the second stage of developing the final roadmap and action plan.
We’re seeking your views on the Consultation Roadmap which outlines the identified pathways and the actions or policies the government will need to take to decarbonise transport and transport infrastructure.
