Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport is crucial to meet India’s climate action commitments and limit global warming to 1.5°C. A new report by ITDP and the University of California, Davis, “Compact Cities Electrified: India,” finds developing compact and dense cities that shift most trips to walking, cycling, and public transport while simultaneously pursuing rapid electrification of all vehicles is the solution.
This discussion paper pulls together expertise from across the Agora Think Tanks. As a starting point for a dialogue, Agora makes recommendations for 20 policy initiatives across all sectors to advance EU policies for climate neutrality in this decisive decade.
ICCT’s life-cycle assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions from passenger cars in Brazil finds current electric vehicles emit about one third of the life-cycle emissions of gasoline-ethanol internal combustion vehicles and that future models can approach zero emissions.
Building on ITDP’s global expertise on parking policies, this report spotlights off-street parking as a costly and often overlooked area of urban planning that can impact vehicle use, how street space is prioritized, and even housing availability.
A new study from Agora Industry and the Wuppertal Institute finds it is technically feasible for the global steel sector to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by the early 2040s. This can be achieved through strategic investment in key technologies such as direct reduced iron (DRI), a coal phase-out in steel production and by establishing a green iron trade. The key levers to decarbonize the global steel sector are a higher material efficiency, a significant
The escalation of Russia’s war against Ukraine and the resulting fossil gas crisis put a spotlight on Europe’s high dependency on imports of cheap Russian pipeline gas. Against this background, this report from Agora Energiewende presents a structural transition pathway away from fossil gas use by 2050 based on detailed sectoral modeling of the energy, buildings, and industry sectors.
