T-1A1a-TE-8 - Shift from car to remote working
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-6 - Teleworking.
Digital technologies are making it more viable for people to work from home. This has the potential to reduce the amount of daily office commutes by car - as well as longer-distance business trips by car or airplane.

Sustainability Category: Green¶
This transition element substantially contributes to climate change mitigation through significant greenhouse gas reductions, carbon sequestration, or enabling the transition to net-zero emissions. The transition element aligns with science-based pathways to limit global warming and should be prioritized for investment and expansion.
