On current trends, transport will become Australia’s largest-emitting sector by 2030. Unless this problem is tackled head-on, Australia’s new climate target cannot be met.
Transport will be bigger co2 output than power? that's huge if that's the case
Could maybe see a much bigger emphasis eg. paris/london style on 15 minute cities

Yeah, and 15 minute cities is a concept that demands a fairly radical shift in approach from the way Australian cities are historically set up. I suppose though there'll have to be a '15 minute cities Australian version' accounting for different quirks of Aus society.

I find this weirdly exciting.
Transport is something we use, rely on, and connect with each other over every single day. And, due to the climate crisis, we are now faced with the demand to radically change this system we all personally interact with.
I was looking at that picture, at the top of the article abd thought, how cool would yhat row of building look without the sea of cars in between the photographer and the buildings.
We don't know where we're going to end up with this part of the decarbonisation path either, is hydrogen going to make it, will public transport largely take over, will active transport or EVs be the same as they are now? So many cool questions.

We ain't gonna do shit until we're forced to. Big-petro has Australia and it's media by the balls. China's gonna take over the world because they're actually addressing the issues while the rest suckle at their petrochem masters' teat.
