The transport sector has long been recognised as a major contributor to global CO2 emissions, accounting for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions. As concerns about climate change intensify, governments are under increasing pressure to address this issue and implement measures to mitigate the environmental impact of transportation.
This comprehensive Special Report delves into the transport sector's significant contribution to CO2 emissions and explores how governments worldwide are striving to drive change in this critical area. With a particular focus on modal shift, electric vehicles, sustainable aviation, green shipping and connected autonomous vehicles, this Special Report provides a timely in-depth analysis of the initiatives being undertaken to reduce CO2 emissions and promote sustainable transportation.
Clean Transport is an invaluable resource for in-house counsel, legal advisers, senior managers and consultants interested in the challenges and opportunities facing the transport sector in contributing to net zero emissions targets.
