WBCSD | Cities and Mobility

By 2030, an estimated 70% of the global population will live in cities, driving 80% of total energy demand and 70% of global GHG emissions. The business opportunities for positive development in this area are compelling. We’re helping cities around the world to improve their sustainable mobility and transport.
