Time for action. The transport sector’s role in enhancing climate ambition.

Abstract

Without swift, ambitious action to reengineer the transport sector, it will be impossible to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement. However, accessing relevant information on how to implement ambitious action often remains difficult for transport officials, especially in developing countries. Therefore, this article presents six recommendations for policymakers. They call for a paradigm shift, increased resilience, empowered cities, investments in multimodal hubs, increased freight efficiency and accelerated electrification.
