This consultation has closed
From 18 June to 14 August 2026, the Commission held a public Call for Evidence to inform the development of the first NSW-specific set of decarbonisation pathways (pathways). These pathways will show how the different sectors of NSW’s economy can practically work together to achieve the state’s legislated emissions reduction targets.
To build these pathways properly, we needed evidence and data from the people and organisations who know their sectors and communities best. By contributing, participants helped ensure the Commission's policy advice and progress tracking are grounded in real-world, up-to-date data and practical experience.
Through our previous consultation and engagement activities we have received a broad range of feedback on NSW’s approach to decarbonisation. These responses continue to inform our work.
What we heard
We received 95 submissions, which are now being processed. Thank you to everyone who participated.
Key findings will be reflected in the pathways. We aim to complete pathways development by mid-2027.
What next?
The Commission will conduct targeted consultation with key stakeholders throughout the pathways process as the development and modelling progresses.
