It is no secret that cities are responsible for a large share of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and urban transport is one of the key contributors to this. The design and functioning of a city’s mobility system have a significant impact on both emissions and vulnerability to climate-related risks, such as extreme heat, flooding, […] Continue reading at the publisher's website.

Car-centric transportation systems have seriously damaged the environment, safety, and livability of cities around the world. Fossil-fuel-based passenger transport is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and the impacts of climate change are already wreaking havoc on our planet’s ecosystems and economies. As low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) increasingly urbanize and grow their economies, […] Continue reading at the publisher's website.

The impacts of urban passenger transport are not just a growing concern in Brazil, but an increasingly problematic source of GHG emissions, responsible for nearly half of all energy-related emissions. The rapid growth of passenger transport, particularly in Brazil’s many large cities, has exacerbated the impacts of traffic congestion, pollution, and inequitable access to public […] Continue reading at the publisher's website.
