Transportation sector climate targets and progress 2022-2050, by indicator
Electric vehicles accounted for roughly ** percent of global light-duty vehicle sales in 2022. Sales are expected to continue accelerating in the coming years, and are on track to reach the 2030 ***-degrees-Celsius-aligned target of at least ** percent. Transportation is currently the second-largest source of global carbon dioxide emissions. Transforming the sector is vital if the world is to limit global temperature rise and mitigate the worst impacts of climate change.Â
