The International Transport Forum (ITF) releases a biennial report on how we can reduce the carbon emissions from transport - planes, trains, automobiles, and more. This video is a summary of the recent 2023 ITF report, breaking their "high ambition" framework down into fifteen steps. Are these steps the optimal pathway to decarbonising transport? Quite possibly not. Is there lots of complexity in the report that I don't have the time to discuss in the video? Definitely. Are sustainable aviation fuels realistic? Doubtful.

But this video is an overview of one - at least quasi- - realistic pathway to slashing transport emissions. It contains several points that I am doubtful of. But I hope this is a useful starting point, based on a respected think tank and established literature. If you would like to learn more, please check out the documents below:

Video title: How to decarbonise transport

This video is about how to decarbonise transport - how we can move around without emitting (as much) carbon dioxide. This video essay is based on the International Transport Forum (ITF) and their reports. The 2023 ITF report has lots of detail on how the transport can reduce its carbon emissions, that I summarise in how to decarbonise transport in 15 steps. If you like videos from Wendover Productions, Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell, Climate Town, Not Just Bikes, or Real Life Lore, you'll enjoy this video essay about how to reduce carbon emissions from transport.
