20th MAY, DAY 1 TOPICS
Breakout Session
Vehicle Emissions – What are the Policy Makers Doing to Help?
Australia is failing to cut vehicle emissions!
Modelling produced by climate scientist Bill Hare for the Australian Conservation Foundation shows emissions from transport are climbing fast and are projected to be 82% higher in 2030 than they were in 1990.
Despite this, the Government had not made a decision on “how or when” standards to cut carbon pollution from vehicles might be implemented. We cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that transport accounts for 18% of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions, making it the
second largest source.
Whilst there is a lack of clear direction by the federal government, industry and state governments are getting on with the heavy lifting. This session will review Government’s policy decisions on vehicle emissions and focus on the positive actions
of industry and various state governments.
