Transport emissions: Driving down car pollution in cities

Short Summary of Resource
This report outlines how cars are a major source of greenhouse gas pollution in Australian cities and gives key climate solutions for the transport sector
Detailed description of the resource
In ratifying the Paris Agreement, Australia committed to rapidly reduce our carbon emissions, by reducing emissions by 26-28 percent on 2005 levels by 2030 and transitioning to zero emissions before 2050. A number of state governments have also committed to zero net emissions targets by 2050. Despite these pledges to tackle climate change, Australia’s emissions continue to rise, particularly from the transport sector
