Sustainable mobility has established itself as a key pillar in the fight against climate change and urban transformation. Globally, transport accounts for almost 25% of CO₂ emissions, with land mobility contributing close to 50% of total transport sector emissions. This has prompted cities and countries to adopt solutions such as electric transport, the expansion of bike lanes and shared mobility systems.
In the region, Bogota stands out with its network of 630 km of bike paths and fleets of electric buses (such as the Transmilenio), Uruguay is moving forward with its electric mobility policy, while Mexico is moving forward with electromobility schemes, Brazil for its part with its biofuels policy and Argentina with the implementation of Natural Gas in urban transport. The region is advancing steadily. There are still challenges to overcome, but the region presents multiple routes to decarbonize land transport due to its diversity, this space will offer the opportunity to discuss the advantages and opportunities of each model. How will the governments of Latin America and the Caribbean accelerate this transition without leaving anyone behind?
