Governance | Regional planning | 2.1 | Please describe the process by which your regional government reviews its progress and manages overall responsibility for climate change. | 0 | The ACT response to climate change is outlined under the Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act 2010 and the climate change strategy and action plan AP2 (2012). Emission reduction targets under the Act include 40% of 1990 levels by 2020 and a target of peaking per capita emissions by 2013 which was achieved in 2011. Currently the Act is being updated with additional interim emission reduction targets as follows; greenhouse gas emissions reductions of 50-60% by 2025; 65-75% by 2030; 90-95% by 2040 and net zero emissions by 2045. The Act also provides for ongoing emissions reporting and monitoring of the ACT's progress towards the targets. The ACT Government has released an annual inventory of greenhouse gases produced by the Territory since 1998, calculating emissions back to a 1990 base year. AP2 details the pathway and actions the ACT will take to achieve its greenhouse gas reduction targets. The ACT Climate Change Adaptation Strategy – Living with a Warming Climate 2016, outlines a range of policies, programs and practices across emergency services, community, infrastructure, water and the natural environment. Released in August 2016 the strategy focuses on disaster preparation and investment in sustainable infrastructure to help Canberra adapt to climate change. | |||||

The ACT Planning Strategy includes specific sustainability goals and targets. Each master plan is required to be consistent with these higher order plans. The ACT’s Statement of Ambition was released in 2016 which commits to diversifying the economy and growing sustainably as a city, including through light rail and urban densification. During 2018 the major strategic planning policy and transport planning policy documents are being reviewed with one of the key objectives being to ensure sustainability and climate change measures are consistent. Targets set in the transport sector for mode share will reflect actions required to meet emission reductions in that sector. | |||
