This fact sheet describes the World Resources Institute's (WRI) approach to decarbonizing the transport sector through an equitable and sustainable transition to electric mobility (e-mobility). It outlines the global climate necessity for zero-emission vehicles, WRI's multidisciplinary strategy to support this transition, and the eight specific focus areas the organization targets to achieve a zero-emission transport sector by 2050.

• The global transport sector is a significant contributor to climate change, with road transport accounting for nearly 75% of total transport emissions in 2018. Globally, fuel combustion in the transport sector is responsible for 24% of CO2 emissions.
• To meet the international climate target of limiting warming to 1.5 °C, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projects that the world's transport sector must reach zero emissions by 2050. This goal is challenged by rising transport emissions driven by urbanization, fuel consumption, and increasing vehicle sales, with an estimated 2.5 billion additional people living in cities by 2050.
• WRI employs a three-part approach to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles: 'Count It' (providing unbiased research and evidence-based policy recommendations), 'Change It' (offering technical assistance and local proofs-of-concept), and 'Scale It' (engaging national, regional, and global stakeholders).
• WRI's e-Mobility team focuses on eight key areas of the electrification ecosystem: clean energy and resilience (including vehicle-grid integration), roadmapping and policy interventions, fleet electrification for shared and high-mileage vehicles, sustainable e-mobility via the Avoid-Shift-Improve framework, integrated climate planning for cities, equitable transition for marginalized communities, consumer behavior optimization, and the sustainable sourcing and recycling of materials.
