Abstract
Re-imagining transport systems to cut carbon emissions and drive climate change.
1. The global transport sector, particularly road transport, contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution, causing serious health issues like respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, especially in highly urbanised areas.
2. In-vehicle telematics and smartphone apps that provide emission feedback can help incentivise drivers to adopt sustainable driving habits. A global carbon credit market can help achieve the same goal by letting individuals and companies monetise their emission reduction.
3. Transitioning to electric vehicles and micro- mobility solutions, with the support of proper infrastructure and regulations, is crucial for reducing carbon emissions and improving the urban transport system.
