Low Carbon Transport

Transport is the second highest source of the world’s CO2 emissions. As developing regions continue to urbanize, cities face choices about what type of transport solutions they will provide to millions of new urban dwellers. Growing household wealth and limited transportation choices will lead to an increase in motorization rates, which in turn means worsening congestion, air quality, and health. Cities can take action to avoid locking in an unsustainable future by mobilizing resources towards low carbon transport, a key element for economic and social development.
