T-1A1a-TE-18 - Shift to trams, light rail and subway
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-3 - Public Transit.
Public transport can move large numbers of people efficiently, causing lower emissions, reduced noise levels, less congestion and an improved 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.
