Transport is a major contributor to climate change, accounting for around 23% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In cities, transport is often the largest source of air pollution, contributing to respiratory illnesses and other health problems. It is also a major source of noise pollution and congestion, which can have a negative impact on quality of life.
