Phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles
Transportation powered by gasoline and diesel is the main source of carbon emissions, contributing to warming temperatures on land and in the oceans, leading to unprecedented natural disasters.
Why is this important?
Gasoline engine exhaust pollutes the air, causing asthma, heart and lung disease, cancer, dementia and thousands of premature deaths each year. Vehicle exhaust affects children, disadvantaged communities and communities of color most, with disproportionate impacts on health, finances and quality of life.
Transport emissions are rising. That’s bad news for our health, and our climate. But around the world, more cities and countries are making plans to take petrol and diesel cars off our roads.
