Tasmania's Emissions Reduction and Resilience Roadmap 2024-29

We have developed Tasmania’s Emissions Reduction and Resilience Roadmap 2024-29 to link together our six sectoral Emissions Reduction and Resilience Plans and Tasmania’s Risk Assessment for Climate Change 2024

The Roadmap includes new commitments to support businesses and industries in all sectors to address common issues and opportunities. It sets out how we will maintain net zero emissions across our economy through to 2030 and beyond.

The Roadmap also outlines which groups in Tasmania are covered in which sectoral plan, and identifies future focus areas for action over the next five years.

The Roadmap was informed by targeted and public consultation on the six sectoral Emissions Reduction and Resilience Plans. You can read the submissions on the draft Plans

New commitments to support all sectors to reduce emissions and build resilience

There are some common challenges and opportunities for all sectors. As part of the Roadmap we will introduce four key programs to support business and industry in all sectors to reduce emissions, build resilience and stay competitive in the transition to low emissions.

  • Climate Change Business Innovation Grant Program to support businesses to take action on climate change, focusing on local innovation, collaboration and partnerships.
  • Business and Industry Climate Change Innovation Forum to showcase the innovative work underway across Tasmania, provide information about emerging opportunities and risks, and encourage networking and information sharing between sectors.
  • Climate Change Champions Program to develop ways to recognise innovative, best practice climate action across all sectors.
  • Climate Reporting Support Program to support small- to medium-sized businesses to better understand climate-related risks to meet changing regulatory and market demands, including measuring and reporting on their emissions.

  • Increasing renewable electricity generation to enable Tasmanian businesses, industries, households and transport systems to electrify, in line with our target to double our 2020 demand for renewable electricity generation capacity by 2040
  • Supporting homes and businesses to increase their energy efficiency through the Energy Saver Loan Scheme
  • Building government capacity to consider climate change to ensure government policies help us reduce emissions and build resilience across Tasmania.
  • Working with the State Planning Office to ensure Tasmania’s planning policies, regional land use strategies, and regulations consider the role of land use planning in emissions reduction and resilience while also considering other environmental, economic and social outcomes.
  • Supporting local governments to take action on climate change in ways that suit the unique needs of their communities through the Local Government Climate Change Capability Program.
  • Supporting the transition to a circular, low emissions economy through the Tasmanian Waste and Resource Recovery Strategy 2023-26
  • Supporting business, industry and the community to make informed decisions about their future by developing user-friendly resources translating the findings of Tasmania’s Risk Assessment for Climate Change 2024
  • Collaborating with government and industry partners to consider the impacts of climate change on current and future skills and workforce needs, and explore opportunities to address these issues.
