Reduce your emissions
How to reduce your emissions and reap the benefits
Zero Emissions Brisbane is currently undertaking market research to identify how community members can best support a decarbonisation strategy for Brisbane.
In our discussions, the following areas of action are typically identified
-
100% renewable electricity generation
-
Electrification of our private and corporate vehicles
-
Circular waste management systems
-
Decarbonisation of our supply chains
-
Regenerative agricultural / land practices
-
Carbon sequestration optimisation
-
Jobs transition plan particularly for carbon intensive industries of electricity and construction
Also identified in discussions is a community understanding of the climate change threat, a willingness to change and enthusiasm around new technology. What is identified as missing is practical assistance in the form of information, know-how and policy settings to address the barriers to change at a local level.
