Abstract:

This blogpost by WRI (World Resources Institute) provides insight into California’s decision on banning the sale of gas-guzzling cars and how it can prove to be a defining step in the fight against climate change taking it to the next level.

How the United States addresses emissions from the transportation sector will largely determine if the country can meet its climate targets. In this post, WRI unpacks some of the factors driving the transportation sector and examine the differences among the states in emission trends and policy.
