Introduction

Our climate change mitigation work involves assessing and reducing the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted into the atmosphere by the land transport system.  

Transport emissions are a significant contributor to New Zealand’s GHG emissions. Most of these emissions come from the vehicles using the land transport system, but transport infrastructure also creates emissions during its lifecycle of construction, operation and maintenance.

Read our page on the sources of transport-related emissions for more detailed information about each source and what we are doing to assess and reduce them.

Sources of greenhouse gas emissions from transport

Reducing emissions from the land transport system will require coordinated action from NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, central and local government authorities and the private sector to reduce emissions from all sources.
