The new information shows that in 2021 GHG emissions were over eight per cent lower than in 2005. However, to reach the federal government’s 2030 climate targets – a 40-45 per cent reduction from 2005 levels – significantly more reductions are needed. This is thanks to fuel economy regulations and more electric vehicles on the roads.
