Rickshaws, also known as cycle rickshaws or pedicabs, have been around for over a century and are still a popular mode of transportation in many parts of the world. This unique form of transportation offers a sustainable, low-carbon option for people to get around in congested urban areas. In recent years, the rickshaw industry has

Rickshaw transportation is an essential part of modern society, allowing individuals and goods to move around the world with ease. Despite its benefits, transportation is also a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, congestion, pollution, and safety risks, exacerbating the climate crisis. The World Economic Forum is committed to accelerating the transition to safer

Shipping and aviation are two of the most difficult sectors to decarbonize, as they currently account for around 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. However, there is a growing urgency to decarbonize these sectors in order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoid catastrophic climate change impacts. To transition to a zero-carbon

Crowdsourcing innovation is a powerful approach that can help solve complex problems by leveraging the collective intelligence of a large and diverse group of people. One area where crowdsourcing innovation is particularly important is in the field of transportation. The global transport system currently accounts for 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, which continue to

Transportation is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, mostly from road travel. To reduce these emissions, it is crucial to shift away from car-centric transportation systems and towards more sustainable modes of travel, such as public, shared, and non-motorized transport. However, convincing people to make this shift requires more than just infrastructure improvements.

Reducing Avoidable Vehicle and Air Travel: A Key Element for Sustainable Transportation The transportation sector is responsible for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions, with cars and aeroplanes being some of the most carbon-intensive forms of transportation. While transitioning to low- and zero-carbon technologies is essential, it may not happen fast enough to

Reliable Access to Safe and Modern Mobility: A Vital Element for Sustainable Transportation The transportation sector is critical in shaping our daily lives, economy, and environment. However, traditional transportation systems that rely heavily on fossil fuels, such as cars and trucks, significantly negatively impact air quality, public health, and climate change. To address these challenges,
