Countries aim to reduce fossil fuel usage and related environmental issues through various demand- supply-side policies. Numerous studies have assessed the policies’ overview. However, analysis of impacts effectiveness these policies in addressing transport-related CO2 emissions is limited globally countries like New Zealand, which a lower energy intensity compared Europe, Asia, Oceania averages. Therefore, this study first analyses trends consumption within transport sector across ten largest total CO2-emitting countries, as well OECD countries. It then provides systematic review relevant and, finally, estimates two econometric models explore effects on market, aimed at reducing GHG from sector, with Zealand case study. The findings indicate that remains significant contributor global emissions, accounting for 40.4% 23.3%, respectively, 2024. countries—China, United States, India, Russia, Japan, Germany, South Korea, Iran, Canada, Saudi Arabia—are responsible 68% emissions. Additionally, except US, highest emissions—Japan, Mexico, UK, Italy, France, Spain, Australia—accounted 15.7% world’s Although share renewable electricity has steadily risen 3.54% 1.4%, 2022, further adoption sources can considerably greenhouse gas sector. Results also both effectively their impact amplified when implemented together. In demand-side proven be more effective than strategies alone, though combining them most efficient approach. This emphasizes importance strategic policy implementation guide world toward sustainable development.
