Towards sustainable mobility: developing a green transportation standards framework

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the key issues of sustainable transport and highlight the critical importance of developing a framework of green transport standards in achieving sustainable mobility. International cooperation on a global scale, such as the Global Sustainable Mobility Action Roadmap and the TM - World Bank, has been a key driver in promoting green transport. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has made it clear that sustainable transport is central to achieving a global shift to renewable energy, with potentially huge savings. In addition, the results of the Global Mobility Report highlight the urgency of establishing green transport standards to achieve the goals of accessibility, efficiency, safety and environmental protection. The EU's Green Deal also highlights the role of green transport in reducing CO2 emissions. Finally, the paper discusses sustainable transportation solutions and the necessary policies and investments to drive sustainable mobility. This research has a profound impact on the realization of global sustainable development goals and the response to climate change, and provides a strong support for the formulation of green transportation standards.
