The Ministry of Transport’s ‘Hīkina te Kohupara – Kia mauri ora ai te iwi - Transport Emissions: Pathways to Net Zero by 2050’ sets out potential pathways and policies to phase out emissions across the transport system. The discussion document does not represent Government policy.
Eliminating emissions across the transport sector supports the response to climate change. The transport sector currently produces 47 per cent of CO2 emissions, and between 1990 and 2018, domestic transport emissions increased by 90 per cent.
We are doing targeted consultation on Hīkina te Kohupara. Full public consultation on initiatives to reduce transport emissions will follow in the 2nd half of 2021.
We welcome feedback on this discussion document from groups who have a strong interest in the transition to a zero-carbon transport system, including:
Business associations / networks
Community groups and NGOs
Iwi
Local government agencies
Members of academic institutions
All members of the public will be given the opportunity to provide feedback on Government initiatives to reduce transport emissions when the Government releases a draft Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP) for consultation in 2nd half of 2021.. The ERP will include a transport chapter, based on content from Hīkina te Kohupara.
We are following this two-step consultation process to get rapid feedback on options to reduce transport emissions, before refining these for inclusion in the transport chapter of the all-of-government ERP.
