We are accelerating the transition to zero-emission transportation in time to save the climate. We connect philanthropy to changemakers that are helping communities on the journey to fossil fuel-free cars, trucks, vans, and other vehicles.
The challenge
For too long, the ways we get to work and school, and access goods and services have imposed high costs on the health of our communities and climate. Transportation is the leading source of emissions in the United States and Europe and rising quickly around the world, contributing to 14 to 21 percent of global carbon pollution every year.
The opportunity
Zero-emission transportation can meet all of our road transportation needs, including electric buses, bikes, e-motorcycles, cars, vans, and heavy-duty trucks. The timing is urgent, and we can accelerate the transition decades faster. Philanthropy is uniquely positioned to empower a sustainable and just transition by supporting responsible supply chains, improved job prospects, and equitable access to clean transportation, among other outcomes.
