Transportation

The transport sector is the cornerstone of our economies, organised around the mobility of people and goods. It has now reached a crossroads: it must reinvent itself as it is currently too dependent on fossil fuels and contributes significantly to greenhouse gases and pollutants. For example, in France, transport is responsible for 30% of greenhouse gas emissions (approximately 20% for the world), making it the leading contributor to French emissions.

The climate roadmap of France and the commitments of the international community stemming from the Paris Agreement require a strong and rapid reduction of the carbon footprint generated by transport. Therefore, it is vital to incorporate the stakes of energy and the climate in the corporate strategies of companies operating in the transport sector to prepare for the changes that will occur. Whether such changes will be achieved by regulations, taxation or market forces, those operating in the sector must anticipate these evolutions in order to play a part in them rather than be subject to them. This anticipation permits resilience in the framework of transition, and thus ensure the economic sustainability of mobility.
