Which sector does C40 focus on predominantly for reducing emissions?

C40 primarily focuses on the transportation sector for reducing emissions because it is one of the largest contributors to urban greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation, including personal vehicles, public transit, and freight, has significant impacts on air quality and climate change in urban areas. C40 recognizes that improving urban mobility and reducing reliance on fossil fuel-powered transport will be essential for cities to meet their climate goals.

Initiatives often include promoting electric vehicles, enhancing public transit systems, expanding cycling and walking infrastructure, and encouraging the use of alternative transportation methods. By prioritizing the transportation sector, C40 aligns its efforts with the need for sustainable urban development that directly addresses climate change through effective emission reduction strategies.
