🚨 New paper out! 🚨
We tracked 587 workers.
🏡 Improving just residential walkability isn’t enough.
🏢 Commercial, leisure, and other daily destinations also shape how people travel, and how much carbon they emit.🔍 We also identified distinct “emitter profiles” based on car access, job type & gender.
🧭 Urban climate policy needs to move beyond the 15-minute city ideal.

Study: Demand-side strategies enable rapid and deep cuts in #buildings and #transportemissions to 2050
* Electrification alone could cut direct emissions by 45-77% in buildings, 22-86% in transport by 2050.
* Combining electrification, efficiency improvements, and behavioral changes could reduce emissions even further: 51-85% for buildings and 37-91% for transport by 2050.
* A multi-strategy approach would lower overall electricity demand by 8-33% per year, making the transition more cost-effective and reducing strain on power grids.We have the tools! #ClimateSolutions #ClimateCrisis

Latest Climate Action Tracker assessment 24 Oct 2024 on #Aviation sector: rated as Critically Insufficient.
Despite agreeing on ‘carbon neutral growth’ in 2020 & a ‘long-term aspirational goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050’, there's little sign of appropriate action from #ICAO govts to reduce international aviation emissions.

Australia's green #hydrogen plans questioned.
* Current industrial hydrogen use in Australia is 500,000 tonnes per year derived from #fossilfuels.
* The Commonwealth Government is budgeting for green hydrogen production of around 500,000 tonnes per year into the 2040s.
* Given the first users of green hydrogen will be existing industrial users of fossil hydrogen including in petrochemicals, plastics, fertilizer production, this leaves no hydrogen for export from Australia.( let alone for use in reducing #transportemissions such as in road freight, rail, maritime, aviation)#ClimateCrisis #energy

TL;DR: Fossil fuel driven car will continue remain a necessary evil this century due to poor social and economic policies. There is no escape.
For all practical purposes Bertha Benz, wife of Karl Benz, can be considered the first person to refuel by purchasing ligroin (a petroleum spirit that was commonly used as an organic solvent in chemical laboratories) from Stadt-Apotheke (Town Pharmacy) in Wiesloch during August 1888. And Stadt-Apotheke can considered the world’s first filling station.
During 1888, the global CO2 levels were 31 percent lower than today (425 ppm).
There will be a person who will eventually buy fossil fuel for the last time from the world's last filling station before disposing off the fossil fuel driven vehicle. When will that happen? The exact date of the last purchase of fossil fuel remains uncertain due to the dynamic nature of fossil fuel reserves and consumption patterns. My guess is that eventuality will not happen during this century.
In 2018 global CO2 emissions from transport was 24% of CO2 emissions from energy. 74.5% of those transport emissions came from road vehicles.
It is unfortunate that due to poor social and economic policies, an elegant invention like car ended up seriously challenging the urban environment, infrastructure and liveability. This is how I feel while living in Bengaluru where car has become a necessary evil.

Worth reading this blog by @danielbowen on why people in Melbourne/Australia don't use public transport often, even with low fares. Its all in the service availability and frequency. .
We really do need a turn up and go service frequency model to encourage mobility usage change to reduce car use and reduce #TransportEmissions. Cost is a small consideration, and can be done by targeted discounts.

A lack of infrastructure, safety concerns and government support is slowing the adoption of e-bikes in #australia despite a steady increase in imported vehicles. says Phil Latz from the Micro-mobility report.
“Electric cars last year were only 7.6 per cent of the market, whereas e-bikes are already up to 28 per cent in the bike market,” Latz said.
there is a 5 per cent tariff on e-bikes imported into Australia.
