New article published in Green Mobility Magazine

We’re pleased to announce that our latest article, “Climate Finance and Economic Mechanisms: Two Essential Yet Mismatched Pieces of the Sustainable Transport Puzzle”, has just been published in Green Mobility Magazine.

The message is clear: without bold reforms to climate finance and economic policies, we won’t get transport on track to meet climate goals.

Transport plays a vital role in economies and daily lives worldwide – but it’s also one of the biggest contributors to carbon emissions. To stay on course for 1.5°C and deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals, we must overhaul how transport is financed and how public money is spent.

The article unpacks:

• Why climate finance for transport remains far too low, especially in low- and middle-income countries;

• How fossil fuel subsidies and outdated appraisal methods continue to block progress;

• What’s needed to scale investment in clean, low-carbon mobility options;

• And how the next round of national climate plans (NDCs 3.0) can support these shifts.

The piece draws on new research and insight from the SLOCAT team and comes at a key moment ahead of COP30 in Belém, Brazil, and the launch of the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport.
