"Australia has no clear strategy to decarbonise transport. That’s a problem,
because without a plan, our take-up of clean technologies like electric cars,
trucks and buses is slow. It’s stopping us from meeting our climate
commitments. And it leaves us paying exorbitant prices for imported oil at the
fuel pump, as well as in the cost of groceries and services.
The good news? Over the last year, 18 transport and energy experts have created
this independent, science-based summary of what is now possible in cleaning up
land, sea and air transport as well as what will become possible in coming
decades.
Our plan gives all levels of Australian government a list of priority policies.
Together, these policies would make possible the delivery of a net zero
transport system by or before 2050, and see Australia gain major economic,
social and environmental benefits from the transition.
The pandemic has shown us how governments and experts can work together to take
on wicked challenges. We can do the same here. We can draw on the knowledge of
transport and energy experts, engineers, planners, and economists to develop
the science-based net zero transport strategy Australia urgently needs."
