Are We Driving Towards a Cleaner Future?
Unveiling the Crucial Role of Transportation in the Global Climate Crisis and Our Roadmap to Decarbonization.
of Nationally Determined Contributions set specific CO2 reduction targets for the transport sector.
Climate change, driven by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuels, presents a critical challenge for the planet, with the transportation sector playing a significant role in these emissions.
The transport sector is identified as the third largest contributor to global GHG emissions, following the electricity generation and industrial sectors.
Current Challenges
Increase of transportation need until 2050.
Increasing Demand
The transportation needs are rising with global population growth, with a projected 79% increase in passenger demand by 2050.
Economic Shifts
In emerging economies, prosperity is leading to higher transportation demand, necessitating quick and effective policy responses.
Technology and Cost
Transitioning to low-carbon technologies like electric vehicles (EVs) involves high upfront costs, but is essential for sustainable future.
Energy Interdependence
Decarbonization of transportation is closely linked with the energy sector, emphasizing the need for integrated strategies.
Economic and Travel Growth
A corresponding increase in inland travel by 44 passenger kilometers (pkm) per capita, for every $100 increase in GDP per capita in high-income countries.
