Undertake a review of emissions across all Territory Government’s agencies to identify opportunities to reduce emissions, and inform development of agency specific action plans to reduce emissions
As part of delivering on the Climate Change Response: Towards 2050 the Government needs to understand and reduce its own emissions profile. It is proposed to measure current greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the operations and service delivery functions of government agencies and develop a whole of government emissions reporting framework. This work will establish an emissions baseline for each agency (as well as for the whole of Government) and will allow targeted emission reduction strategies to be developed and subsequently reported on.
By end 2021
Action item update
The NT Government has engaged experts to undertake calculation of NT Government emissions and provide advice and recommendations on reduction strategies to achieve the 2030 target. The project is due to be completed in 2022 and an emissions reduction target for NT Government operations will be considered later in 2022.
