​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.
