Overview
In 2022, the Government legislated Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, to reach net zero by 2050 and 43 percent below 2005 levels by 2030.
Building on that momentum, the Government has committed to developing a Net Zero Plan, which will articulate how Australia will transition to a net zero economy, consistent with our international and domestic commitments.
To support the Net Zero Plan, the Government is developing six sectoral plans which, between them, cover all major components of the economy.
The Transport and Infrastructure Net Zero Roadmap and Action Plan will be net zero sectoral plan for the transport and transport infrastructure sectors. It will provide a clear strategy to reduce transport emissions.
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.
The Transport and Infrastructure Net Zero Roadmap and Action Plan is being developed in two stages. The first stage is this Consultation Roadmap that sets out potential pathways for transport and transport infrastructure to contribute to net zero by 2050. It does not 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 are seeking your views on the identified pathways and the actions or policies government will need to take to decarbonise transport and transport infrastructure.
