What progress has been made?
- The total number of signatories to this pledge has so far reached 214, up from 130 a year ago, indicating growing awareness of the risks.
- There is a real acknowledgment of the difficulty of decarbonising aviation and shipping, but it’s technical emissions The low profile for smaller vehicles is well utilized and expands quickly.
- Data released by Bloomberg Research has shown that 2022 will be a record year for sales of zero-emission vehicles.
- A move in this direction seems crucial, according to environmental experts: emissions from the transport sector have more than doubled since the year 1970 and vehicles have caused about 80 percent of this increase. According to the United Nations Environment Programme,
- To achieve the urgent goal, an international group with the name was officially launched "Zero acceleration"This alliance provides a platform to ensure that no country fails to meet its commitments to switch to zero-emission vehicles on specified dates.
- Inevitable transformation
The international adviser for sustainable development and the green economy, Dr. Hussein Abaza, confirmed that there is a real awareness by the countries of the world of the seriousness of climate change and how the development models we have followed have brought us to a critical situation, be it linked to damage to biodiversity or desertification and so on.
The researcher added in an interview with "Sky News Arabia"This new reality has shown that it is inevitable to move towards new consumption models that take into account the environment and reduce damage, while questions are raised about the effectiveness of some decisions, such as the extent to which people are willing to use public transport and clean energy, for example, if it becomes available, or they will continue to drive their own car.
Dr. Abaza explained that transportation is responsible for the largest amount of emissions, followed by energy and industry in third place, and therefore, the movement of people requires environmental awareness to reduce damage.
He said that the abandonment of fossil energy in the world will inevitably happen, pointing out the confusion that has occurred recently due to price fluctuations, then went on to say that the green economy does not necessarily mean loss because it opens up new horizons and opportunities, despite the occurrence of a decline in some sectors of production.
