Getting out of energy-intensive and "dirty" transport for sustainable societies
Pathways toward a green and energy-efficient transport system
Societies around the world have committed themselves to achieving the Paris goals of carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction and limiting global warming to 1.5°C with different levels of legal commitment. The transport sector is both a major use of energy and a major source of air pollutants, including CO2, nitrogen oxides, ozone, particular matter, and volatile organic compounds that cause climate change and harm human health.1,2 The recent Ukraine–Russia war triggered countries to evaluate a fossil–fuel-dependent transport system that is highly vulnerable.
