CEEW Study Finds G20 Travel Shifts Could Cut Emissions and Save $90 Billion Annually
A CEEW study finds that behavioural changes in passenger transport—carpooling, increased bus use, and hybrid work—could reduce G20 countries' annual CO2 emissions by 15-20% (408-538 MtCO2) by 2050. These shifts could cumulatively save 5.7-8 gigatonnes of CO2 between 2025 and 2050, contributing 5-6% of the carbon budget to limit warming to 1.5°C. Developed countries and China would realize most savings due to higher car ownership. The changes could also save $90 billion annually in oil costs by 2050.
