Transport, Climate and Sustainability Global Status Report (GSR)

The 3rd 4th Edition of the Global Status Report is Coming Soon

Accelerating Action with Knowledge

The SLOCAT Transport, Climate and Sustainability Global Status Report (GSR) tells the global and regional stories of where we are and where we need to get to urgently on climate and sustainability action for transport and mobility. It is a one-stop shop for the latest available data, trends, targets and developments on transport demand, emissions and policies. The GSR equips decision makers towards knowledge-based action and aims to raise ambition in transport policy and investment for people and the planet. 

Why the GSR?

One of SLOCAT’s main areas of activity over the years has been to equip decision-makers and practitioners with knowledge and tools to enable combined transport, climate, and sustainability impact. Our blueprint is to drive collaborative data and knowledge products.
