On March 20, 2023, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provided a major update on the state of climate science and ways forward in its synthesis of the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Here’s what the world’s top authority on climate says about climate action and transportation: #1. Climate change is probably humankind’s biggest unfolding…
U.S. Launches Blueprint to Decarbonize Transportation, Mobility First
When the U.S. passed its most important climate legislation ever, the Investment Reduction Act (IRA), it didn’t tackle transportation very squarely. Not in the sense of what climate science authorities, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), say is the path to deep decarbonization, a sequence known as “Avoid-Shift-Improve.” What passing the IRA…
Transportation Questions for Climate Action
To bring climate pollution under control, we need to reshape transportation, especially the way we get around on the ground. Namely, we have to evolve from a mono-modal system that is extraordinarily energy-intensive because it requires one tool for almost every job–the private car, typically carrying one person–towards a system that is resource-efficient. No question…

More Mobility is about the possibility of more from mobility. More freedom and joy in how we get around. A higher standard of care and dignity for the large number of people our transportation system is leaving behind. Both travelers and those living where travelers are moving through. Better shared results between public transportation departments…
Climate Action Requires Mobility-First Transportation Action Says IPCC
Earlier this year, the world’s top authority on climate science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), gave an update on our best chances to minimize further climate damage and keep humankind as safe as possible.1 Here are some of the conclusions about transportation from the 3000-page report, which deals with every main aspect of…
