Public transport ridership has yet to recover from the pandemic: over half of operators reported that 2024 passenger levels were still below 2019 levels, while informal transport providers remain under-recognised and under-supported.

SLOCAT is so proud to welcome Jill Warren, who joins the SLOCAT Partnership this week as our new Director of Advocacy and Engagement. After working for many years with our close and dear partners of ECF, where her impact on active mobility was great.

In 2023, transport remained the second-largest and fastest-growing emissions sector, responsible for 15.9% of global GHG emissions and 21.9% of global CO₂ emissions. It was also the fastest-growing energy-use sector, consuming 27% of global energy for end uses.

15.9% of global GHG and 21.9% of global CO2 emissions came from transport in 2023 alone.

Nigeria's transport emissions don't fall because of a launch. They fall in the depot: serviced engines, no idling, correct tyre pressure, filled return trips. The new Climate and Clean Air Action Framework for Ttransport puts these cheap wins first.

500 million. That's how many motorised two-and three-wheelers are on the road today. And together, they're already estimated to be displacing nearly a million barrels of oil every day. Yet these vehicles and the people who operate them are still too often left out of transportation planning.

Millions of livelihoods. Billions of passenger trips. Countless local names. Tuk-tuks. Jeepneys. Matatus. Danfos. Boda bodas. Colectivos. Marshrutkas. Different vehicles. Different places. One shared purpose: connecting people where other transportation often doesn't.

At the just-ended HLPF 2026, water and energy were called the "delivery system" for every other SDG. But delivery systems don't deliver themselves. Pipes, panels, clinical supplies, food, people getting to work, school, hospitals, and transport move all of it.

Your summer read: 1,018. Not pages, transport actions in the latest national climate plans, twice as many as last round. But 78% chase electrification, just 8% touch how much we travel, and barely a third set an emissions target. Doubling ≠ done. New GSR Explained 👇 buff.ly/PFEKmJe

At HLPF 2026, water and energy were called the "delivery system" for every other Sustainable Development Goal. But they don't deliver themselves. Pipes, panels, food, people: transport moves all of it. And transport is the one system with no global goal of its own. 🧵

The transport sector accounted for roughly 7% (USD 6.8 trillion) of global GDP and employed nearly 200 million people worldwide in 2021, yet transport remains the second largest and fastest-growing source of CO2 emissions. #Clearnair #Zeroemissions

Nine years ago Santiago had two electric buses. Today it runs more than 4,000, the largest fleet outside China. Ethiopia is now studying that playbook as it works toward 850 e-buses in Addis Ababa by the time it hosts COP32. 🧵

Governments spent USD 7 trillion propping up fossil fuels in 2023. Fixing transport for good costs USD 2.7 trillion a year. The money exists, 3 times over. We are subsidising the problem and the solution, and the problem is winning Op-ed from our SG Carly Gilbert-Patrick with REN21: buff.ly/dywQ8uv

This war is what 95.4% looks like in practice. Reflex response: cut fuel taxes, raise subsidies, protect supply. That is not energy security. That is fossil dependence. The UN Decade of Sustainable Transport starts in 2026. Same number. Political choice ahead. 🔗 gsr4.slocat.net/fossil-fuel-...

SLOCAT Partnership @slocat.net · 18/05/2026
EVs hit 21.7% of car sales in 2024. Fossil dependence held. 58M electric cars on the road. 1.5B combustion cars still running. 61M new fossil vehicles sold last year, nearly half of them SUVs. Electrification is not replacing the fleet. It is being added on top.

SLOCAT Partnership @slocat.net · 18/05/2026
95.4%. Share of transport energy from fossil fuels in 2023. Same share as fifty years ago. Same share as when Paris was signed. Every oil shock, every COP, every record EV sales year. The number does not move. Our new GSR Explained asks why. 🧵

SLOCAT Partnership @slocat.net · 12/05/2026
The transport sector doesn't lack frameworks. It lacks a North Star. That was SLOCAT's message at the ITF Summit 2026 in Leipzig. 95.4% of transport energy is still fossil. Avoid and Shift could deliver 40 to 60% of emission cuts. Yet the global response keeps defaulting to Improve. 🧵

Three weeks into the Global Sustainable Logistics Survey, and the geography of the response base is the part that needs attention. Asia, Africa and Latin America are still underrepresented. 🧵

SLOCAT Partnership @slocat.net · 30/04/2026
We track car sales. We track aviation emissions. But freight and logistics, the sector that moves everything we eat, build, and buy, has no systematic global baseline on sustainability. The Global Sustainable Logistics Survey is the project trying to fix that. 🧵

SLOCAT Partnership @slocat.net · 28/04/2026
That's what governments spent on fossil fuel subsidies in 2023. Enough to fund nearly 3 years of the entire global transport transition. Yesterday Santa Marta opened the first global conference on phasing out fossil fuels. Transport has to be on the table. 🧵 #SantaMarta #FossilFreeTransport

It's #WorldHealthDay. Transport killed 1.19M people in road crashes in 2021 and caused 500,000 air pollution deaths. Cost: $3.6 trillion/year. Yet health is barely mentioned in transport policy. #RoadSafety #PublicHealth #SustainableTransport

Tonight the world switches off for #EarthHour. Here's a number to sit with in the dark: fossil fuels still power 95.4% of all transport energy. A share barely changed in 50 years. #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #Transport

🚨 New report with @gaborone: 65% of transport actions in new NDCs focus on tech fixes. Only 8% aim to reduce car trips. Public transport actions have actually declined. Countries are betting on EVs — but that's only part of the solution. #ClimateAction #TransportJustice #NDCs

Transport is the fastest-growing climate problem — and new national climate plans still fall dangerously short. SLOCAT & @giztransport.bsky.social just published our full analysis of transport in the new NDCs. Current ambition? On track for 2.3–2.5°C. Not 1.5°C. 🧵

110 national climate plans analysed. The verdict? Countries are waking up to transport — but not fast enough. New report by GIZ and SLOCAT finds a growing focus on electric mobility, yet current #NDC ambition points towards 2.3–2.5°C. That's not 1.5°C alignment. 👉 slocat.net/NDCs

Have you missed our analysis of Transports in NDCs 3.0? The year 2025 marks a crucial juncture for advancing sustainable, low-carbon transport. Countries are expected to submit updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) with enhanced 2035 targets, referred to here as third-generation NDCs.

If you missed our analysis of what happened at #COP30, here’s the takeaway: while the process held, ambition fell short. Progress on finance, just transition and multi-actor action contrasted with the absence of a clear signal on transitioning away from fossil fuels. #ClimateAction #COP30

Crisis is no longer the exception — it’s the context. Transport systems must deliver access, cut emissions, and withstand shocks at once. The UN Decade of Sustainable Transport (2026–2035) is a decisive window. Evidence exists. Leadership must follow. 👉 buff.ly/t4dSdv3 #ClimatePolicy #UNDecade
