Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Transport

Greenhouse gas emissions from transport refer to the gases released into the atmosphere by various modes of transportation, primarily cars, trucks, planes, and ships. These emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), come mainly from burning fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel. They contribute to climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere. Reducing transport emissions is crucial for addressing global warming, which can be achieved through cleaner fuel technologies, electric vehicles, improved public transit, and promoting walking or cycling. Efforts to decrease these emissions can lead to a healthier planet and improved air quality.
