T-1A1a-TE-11 - Shift to electric bikes
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-2 - Active Transport Modes.
Electric vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions. They are also significantly more energy efficient and quiet than fossil-fueled vehicles. The shift to electric bikes reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps create a better urban environment.
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.
