00:01 Mobility is a key part of our lives.

00:06 Every day we rely on transport to access jobs,

00:10 education,

00:11 healthcare,

00:12 and all the other opportunities we need to achieve our full potential.

00:17 But transport is also a major contributor to climate change.

00:22 And already accounts for 20% of the greenhouse gas emissions

00:26 that are heating the planet.

00:28 If we don't act quickly,

00:30 that figure will grow much higher.

00:33 So how do we keep the world moving

00:35 while reducing the climate footprint of transport?

00:39 That is precisely the question

00:41 that the Transport Decarbonisation Investment Series is looking to answer.

00:46 Produced jointly by the World Bank,

00:49 the Netherlands,

00:50 and the World Resources Institute.

00:53 The new series provides concrete recommendations

00:56 for boosting investment in greener transport technologies,

01:00 such as

01:01 electric vehicles powered by clean electricity

01:05 and supported by reliable charging infrastructure,

01:09 high capacity,

01:10 high quality public transport.

01:13 Better walking and cycling infrastructure.

01:17 Efficient railways and waterways.

01:20 To make all this happen,

01:21 we must work with countries to rethink

01:23 policies across the entire transport sector.

01:27 This means

01:28 making sure countries set specific targets for

01:31 transport as part of their climate commitments,

01:34 adapting regulations and incentives,

01:37 prioritizing transport projects with the lowest carbon footprint.

01:42 Managing transport demand more effectively

01:45 to shift from cars and trucks to cleaner modes,

01:48 and adopting stricter environmental and safety standards

01:52 for vehicle fleets around the world.

01:54 By changing the way we move,

01:56 we can lower global emissions

01:59 and create a better future for people

02:02 and the planet.

02:05 So join us

02:06 to act and invest towards better transport.

Mobility is a key part of our lives. Every day we rely on transport to access jobs, education, healthcare, and all the other opportunities we need to achieve our full potential. But transport is also a major contributor to climate change. And already accounts for 20% of the greenhouse gas emissions that are heating the planet. If we don't act quickly, that figure will grow much higher. So how do we keep the world moving while reducing the climate footprint of transport? That is precisely the question that the Transport Decarbonisation Investment Series is looking to answer. Produced jointly by the World Bank, the Netherlands, and the World Resources Institute. The new series provides concrete recommendations for boosting investment in greener transport technologies, such as electric vehicles powered by clean electricity and supported by reliable charging infrastructure, high capacity, high quality public transport. Better walking and cycling infrastructure. Efficient railways and waterways. To make all this happen, we must work with countries to rethink policies across the entire transport sector. This means making sure countries set specific targets for transport as part of their climate commitments, adapting regulations and incentives, prioritizing transport projects with the lowest carbon footprint. Managing transport demand more effectively to shift from cars and trucks to cleaner modes, and adopting stricter environmental and safety standards for vehicle fleets around the world. By changing the way we move, we can lower global emissions and create a better future for people and the planet. So join us to act and invest towards better transport.
