We will also take opportunities to improve the wellbeing of New Zealanders. Actions include: ► reducing reliance on cars and supporting people to walk, cycle and use public transport ► rapidly adopting EVs (and low-emission fuels) ► decarbonising heavy transport and freight. Aotearoa New Zealand s long-term low-emissions development strategy 47CONTRIBUTION TO OUR LONG-TERM VISION Aotearoa has a highly renewable, net-zero emissions energy system. Energy is accessible and affordable and supports the wellbeing of all New Zealanders. Energy supply is secure, resilient and reliable. Energy systems support economic development and productivity growth that align with the transition to a low-emissions future. State of play The energy and industry sectors are essential for the economy and the lives of New Zealanders. They provide electricity to light and heat homes and workplaces, and the heat that powers manufacturing and industry.

The transition can be helped by reducing transport needs and improving efficiency. Sound land-use planning, more effective goods transport, greater use of public transport, cycling and walking and new innovative mobility solutions will all be needed as part of the approach. It is also essential to put in place the enabling conditions for a low-emission development pathway. There must be a shift towards sustainable solutions for investment, technology, material and energy use and consumption. This will require sound planning and policy instruments to ensure that long-term investment decisions taken in the near future do not lock in high emissions, making it more difficult to achieve a low-emission pathway. At the same time, it is important that this approach has broad public support.

Second, a more efficient organisation of the entire mobility system based on digitalisation, data sharing and interoperable standards is of utmost importance to make mobility cleaner. This will allow smart traffic management and increasingly automated mobility in all modes, reducing congestion and increasing occupancy rates. Regional infrastructure and spatial planning should be improved to realise the full benefits of increased use of public transport. Urban areas and smart cities will be the first centres of innovation in mobility not least because of the predominance of short-distance journeys and air quality considerations.

the completion of the Trans-European core network (TEN-T) by 2030 and the comprehensive network by 2050. Future investments need to focus on the least polluting modes, promote synergies between transport, digital and electricity networks to enable innovations such as vehicle-to-grid services, and include smart features such as the European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTM) upfront. That would enable for instance high-speed train connections to become a real alternative to aviation for short and medium distance passenger travel within the EU. Europe should remain the champion of multilateralism.

The scenario assumes that the rise in traffic both for the transport of people and for the transport of goods will be controlled, that a modal shift will occur towards active means of transport, public transport and bulk transportation and that vehicle use will be optimised. Passenger traffic in passenger-km for all modes together will rise by 26% between 2015 and 2050 but at a more moderate rate than in the business-as-usual scenario, notably because of the increase in teleworking and a limitation of urban sprawl. The modal share of cycling will be multiplied by 4 after 2030. Public transport will develop significantly with a progression in its modal share of 7 points, this will also apply to shared transport and car-sharing.
