The world needs an urgent transition to zero emission mobility. GFEI has set out ambitious decarbonisation targets for passenger cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles, all directed towards achieving zero carbon mobility by 2050. Meeting these comprehensive targets and the Paris Climate Agreement aims of limiting temperature rises to 1.5 degrees will require a significant shift to electric vehicles and decarbonisation of the electricity grid, as well as substantial moves towards active shared and public transport where possible.
This report outlines the state of play globally in achieving these GFEI targets, the on-going challenges which we face in achieving them, and the essential policy changes and conditions which are required to underpin progress. It identifies very clearly how undeniably urgent the transition to zero carbon vehicles remains, how much further work there is still to do in this regard, and the commitment of GFEI and its partners to support this urgent transition with practical and expert capacity building support.
