About the program
A sustainable transport system is essential to mitigating and managing the effects of climate change, creating livable places, reducing waste, supporting the health and well-being of communities, and protecting our unique flora and fauna.
The Program’s vision is that environmental and sustainability outcomes are at the heart of transport decision-making.
The Environment and Sustainability Task Force, which has representatives from all Australian and New Zealand transport agencies, is a trans-Tasman collaboration providing leadership and best practice guidance, and driving improvements in the environment and sustainability in transport.
The work of the Program is focused around five key themes:
- climate change resilience
- biodiversity
- human health
- circular economy outcomes
- greenhouse gas emissions.
