Transport

The report provides a global assessment of how the transport sector is progressing on climate action, showing that despite growth in electric mobility and investments in public transport, overall transport emissions continue to rise because demand for mobility is increasing faster than the sector is decarbonising. It highlights that road transport remains heavily dependent on oil, with SUVs and growing travel demand offsetting efficiency gains; aviation and shipping have made limited progress as low-carbon fuels remain marginal; and rail and urban cycling show promising developments but are not yet widespread enough to shift global trends. Overall, the report concludes that the energy transition in transport is too slow to meet climate goals, and stronger policies, cleaner technologies, and strategies to reduce travel demand are urgently needed.
