Abstract:

Decarbonization of the transport sector would create a cleaner, healthier and more affordable future for everyone. And it can be done without sacrificing the interconnectedness we've come to expect from modernity.

But what exactly are transport emissions? How are countries already addressing them, and where are the further opportunities for decarbonization?

To better understand those questions, WRI uses Climate Watch to take a closer look at the data. This post is a sector-by-sector breakdown of where emissions come from, which countries are responsible for the most transport emissions and how can we reduce emissions from transport?
