Are you a boba-loving-transportation-nerd looking for just solutions to the climate crisis? Oh boy - do we have an event for you.
The transportation sector is a key driver in the climate crisis, comprising about a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the consequences of climate change will endanger transportation infrastructure by increasing the severity and frequency of extreme weather events. To meet the moment, it is critical that policymakers and industry leaders make drastic, near-term changes to decarbonize the sector and move toward clean, sustainable transportation solutions.
This panel will bring together civil society and policy experts working to address the negative climate and environmental justice impacts of our current transportation infrastructure with a particular emphasis on skyrocketing emissions from the ecommerce sector.
