With mobility being crucial for the economic and social functioning of a society, it is essential to build resilient systems that will continue to function under higher climate change pressures

A lot has happened during the UN climate talks in Glasgow – but are we at all close to the paradigm shift we so urgently need in the transport sector?

Read our blog after COP25 in Madrid, arguing that we need ambitious commitments for the transport sector. NDC enhancement in 2020 will be crucial.
