Climate-Smart Mobility: Where to Invest?

Follow the event on Twitter #ClimateActionWBG

We cannot win the fight against climate change without taking on the rapidly growing emissions from the transport sector. But even though many of the necessary tools and technologies already exist, market uptake and financing remain low. Building on the ongoing Transport Decarbonization Investment series, this event will bring together a wide range of leaders who will explore concrete solutions for boosting innovation and investment toward low-carbon transport.

Henrik Gudmundsson

A lot of focus on more electric cars, and very important too. But who make investments for reducing and decommissioning individual fossil emission cars? Which national policy maker helps cities start planning and investing for creating a city for after (1,2 person) fossil car epoch?
