Three solutions for delivering sustainable mobility in cities

This fact sheet from Sustainable Energy for All outlines three strategic solutions for sustainable urban mobility and categorizes cities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America into four types based on their specific opportunities for energy and transport interventions.

• The document proposes three primary solutions for sustainable urban mobility: integrating energy, land-use, and mobility planning to achieve systems-level benefits; employing demand-side targeting and management to reduce unnecessary travel and energy use; and implementing electric mobility by ensuring clean energy supplies from the start.
• Small-to-medium-sized cities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are classified into four types to guide sustainable interventions: 'Efficiency Opportunists' (fastest growing 2020-2030, focused on energy efficiency), 'Electric Vehicle Leapfroggers' (those with electricity access, particularly renewable), 'Digital Disruptors' (those utilizing digital technology for mobility access), and 'Renewable Drivers' (those with available renewable resources).
• Cities currently represent 50 percent of the global population and 70 percent of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, despite occupying only 3 percent of Earth's land area. Urban transport emissions and energy consumption are projected to double by 2050, with the majority of this growth occurring in developing countries.
