Decarbonisation of Transport in Africa: Opportunities, Challenges and Policy Options

Through this project, NASAC is contributing to the realization of the 2015 Paris Agreement, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Africa’s Agenda 2063. The Paris Agreement sets an ambitious goal of limiting global warming to 1.5° Celsius above pre-industrial levels. To achieve this, global greenhouse gas emissions must peak by 2025, decrease by 43 percent by 2030, and reach net zero by 2050, as outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The transportation sector is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for nearly a quarter of total emissions globally. To address the growing climate change crisis, it is critical to decarbonise all sectors including transportation.
