The measure in tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions likely to arise from each Department from Government operations in 2010-11 is estimated to be:

The Government are committed to achieving a reduction in the carbon dioxide emissions from its estate of 12.5 per cent. and from administrative road travel by 15 per cent. both by 2010-11. Progress against these targets is reported annually in the Sustainable Development in Government report. Current projections indicate that Government are expected to exceed these targets: forecasting a 17.8 per cent. reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from offices and 23.7 per cent. reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from road vehicles by 2010-11.
