The way that people and goods travel is intrinsically linked to climate change mitigation and adaptation. The transport sector is one of the largest contributors to global GHG emissions and a leading cause of urban air pollution.
The way that people and goods travel is intrinsically linked to climate change mitigation and adaptation. The transport sector is one of the largest contributors to global GHG emissions and a leading cause of urban air pollution. The large footprint of its infrastructure makes transport vulnerable to the extreme weather precipitated by climate change. Mobility affects everyone, enabling access to goods and services that facilitate economic freedom and social equity. As a result, the transport sector represents a high-value investment – particularly in emerging markets where incremental changes have disproportionate impact.
