The United Nations formally recognized the pivotal role of transportation in sustainable development during the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit. At the 2012 United Nations World Conference, global leaders unanimously acknowledged that transportation and mobility are essential for achieving sustainability goals. Recent data indicates that the transportation sector is responsible for a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, sustainable transportation has been integrated into several of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to food security, health, energy, economic growth, infrastructure, cities, and huɱaп settlements. Meeting sustainable transportation targets is considered crucial for fulfilling the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
