Transport emissions
September 2024. The transport sector contributes nearly a fifth of Australia’s air pollution. Creating safer air for all Australians means thinking about transport fuels and their emissions, who is most at risk, and the types of settings where people are exposed to transport-related air pollution.
In this webinar we heard from Dr Timothy Chaston, a research fellow at the University of Sydney, and Affiliate at the Centre for Safe Air. He was joined by Keith Loveridge, former Senior Sustainability Officer with the City of Maribyrnong and lecturer and tutor at RMIT, who has made a significant impact as a citizen scientist and advocate for reducing transport emissions in Melbourne.
The webinar and a live Q&A was facilitated by Geoffrey Morgan, Associate Professor at the University of Sydney and Chief Investigator at the Centre for Safe Air.
There is now well-established evidence of the harm of transport emissions on health. In our response to the questions posed in the Roadmap, we outline the benefits and importance of including health co-costs and co-benefits in the transition to zero carbon
