Charting the course: the essential role of decarbonising transportation in the transition to a regenerative economy
This thought piece details how the transportation industry, which is heavily reliant on fossil fuels, accounts for over 30% of CO2 emissions from endues sectors globally. To remain aligned with the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, transport emissions will need to be reduced by approximately 25% by 2030. The realisation of this ambitious goal is dependent on three main lines of action: First, to ensure the swiftest possible transition to electric vehicles on our roads; second, to drive the commercialisation and widespread adoption of low-emission fuels – particularly in the maritime and aviation sectors; and third, to enact policies that promote a shift towards less carbon-intensive modes of travel.
