Issues paper: Reshaping Infrastructure for a net zero emissions future
Infrastructure has a significant, lasting influence on Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. Around 70% of Australia’s emissions are associated with infrastructure projects, according to the issues paper published in partnership by the Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA), Climateworks Australia and the Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council (ASBEC).

Climateworks Australia submission to Queensland’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Strategy
In July 2021 Climateworks had to opportunity to provide input to Queensland’s new Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Strategy. The submission draws from our Decarbonisation Futures scenario modelling, our Moving to Zero transport report, and a comparison of current Queensland zero-emissions vehicles policy and leading policies inother states and territories.

Australia’s transport emissions: seeing the sector as a whole shows a path to zero emissions
Understanding (and visualising) the complexity of a sector can accelerate action on climate. To tackle emissions from transport, the sector should be considered as a whole.

Australia’s transport emissions: the role of electric vehicles in reaching zero emissions
Climateworks’ first article unpacking the issues and opportunities for reducing emissions in the transport sector, where we explore how electric vehicles fit into the net zero conversation.
Australia’s transport emissions: the role of infrastructure in reaching zero emissions
The next in a series on the complex and interdependent nature of the transport system, Rachel Lynskey explores how infrastructure can lay the foundations for a zero emissions transport sector.
Australia’s transport emissions: the role of hydrogen in reaching zero emissions
In our latest piece examining the complex and interdependent nature of the transport system, Rachel Lynskey explores the role of green hydrogen – made with renewable energy – in reducing emissions for certain transport modes.
Accelerating EV uptake: Policies to realise Australia’s electric vehicle potential
The global shift to electric vehicles (EVs) is well underway, but Australia’s EV uptake lags behind this trend. In 2021, just two per cent of cars sold in Australia were EVs, despite half of all Australians seeing their next car purchase as an EV.
