Greening Mobility - Can Sweden Take The Lead?
In most advanced economies, transport is the largest or second largest contributor to climate change emissions, while at the same time accounting for a large share of premature deaths due to local air pollution. Can Sweden take the lead in the move to greener, more sustainable mobility? The competition is fierce, as shown by this second article from the 2030-secretariat.
Paris is about transports
After the ratification of the Paris Climate Agreement, a rapid move towards more sustainable modes of transport has started taking place. This is partially due to the fact that the countries in the process of determining their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) require large and quick emission reductions from the transport sector – but also that there is now a competition for leadership in finding, showing and promoting green transport solutions.
