Frugality in energy consumption: whether in terms of energy per capita or globally, railways and public transport are extremely efficient: passenger rail transport requires less than 1/10th of the energy needed to move an individual by car or by aeroplane.Unleashing the full benefits of rail for decarbonisation, will be key to significantly cutting emissions from the transport sector in line with the Paris Agreement. It is the fastest and most cost-efficient way to decarbonise people’s daily mobility and logistics chains. Rail is a central pillar to transformative climate action in transport.
It is clear that today’s challenges can only be met with rail as the backbone of a seamlessly connected sustainable mobility system. Transport demand is expected to double in the same time we have to decarbonise, before 2050. Rail is bucking this trend and has been the only mode to actually reduce its emissions, down by 2% between 20. Global Green House gas emissions from transport are continuing to rise, accounting for 14% of all emissions in 2018. While representing 8% of global passenger and freight transport activity (in passenger km/tonne km), railway represents only 2% of the transport sector emissions. Railway has a central role to play in decarbonising transport.Īs the cleanest and greenest high-volume transport, rail has an essential role in creating sustainable lifestyles and economies. The backbone of future sustainable transport system
The sustainable mobility that we want - 2022.
