Episode Details

The Australian Capital Territory is accelerating its climate ambitions, making permanent funding for apartment electrification and targeting a “climate positive” future where cities actively restore the environment. With a flexible, evolving strategy, the ACT is turning climate action into a shared responsibility between government and citizens, tackling systemic barriers to clean living. Key moves include electrifying buildings, pushing for 80-90% zero-emission vehicles by 2030, and decommissioning gas infrastructure faster than planned. Despite missing last year’s emissions target, the territory is doubling down on transport, building upgrades, tree and soil carbon storage, and waste management — all while using high-integrity carbon removal to offset unavoidable emissions.
