Since 2016, the World Bank has enabled 32 countries to develop essential infrastructure, expand electric vehicle fleets (particularly e-buses), and identify opportunities to accelerate electrification of passenger transport.subject:transport,subject:urban development,subject:sustainable-development-goals,consultations:regions/global,regions:Latin America and Caribbean,regions:South Asia,regions:Africa,country:Senegal,country:India,country:Brazil,country:ChileEnglishLatin America and Caribbean,South Asia,AfricaFrom Gridlock to Green Transport: Supporting Electric Mobility to Meet the Demand for Passenger TransportTransport,Urban Development,Sustainable-development-goals/content/wb-home/en/projects-operations/results/2024/03/21/from-gridlock-to-green-transport-supporting-electric-mobility-to-meet-the-demand-for-passenger-transport2024-03-21T08:33:00ZtrueLatin America and Caribbean,South Asia,Africacq5Senegal,India,Brazil,ChileSN,IN,BR,CLResults ChallengeRapid urbanization and population growth in developing countries exert immense pressure on urban transport systems. The demand for passenger transport in urban areas could increase by up to 79 percent between 2019 and 2050, as estimated by the International Transport Forum. However, expanding the current model of transport is not viable as it is environmentally and economically unsustainable. The transport sector already contributes to nearly a quarter of global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Moreover, air pollution generated by the sector has been responsible for approximately $1 trillion in health damages per year, according to the International Council on Clean Air Transportation. Without intervention, CO2 emissions from transport could rise by up to 50 percent by 2050, per IPCC estimates. For these reasons, decarbonization is a crucial aspect of any sustainable transport expansion plan.

The World Bank is supporting countries through investments in mass transit projects and other public transport improvements. Since 2012, 12 metro and bus rapid transit (BRT) projects have been completed, benefiting more than 20 million people. Among the many benefits of these projects are reduced congestion, shorter travel times and lower costs, improved accessibility to jobs and services, and social inclusion, as well as reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and local air pollution.subject:transport,subject:urban development,consultations:topics/social-development,country:Brazil,country:Peru,country:Senegal,country:Nigeria,country:Tanzania,country:Ecuador,distribution:Global,regions:Africa,regions:Latin America and Caribbean,subject:sustainable-development-goalsEnglishAfrica,Latin America and CaribbeanPromoting Livable Cities by Investing in Urban MobilityTransport,Urban Development,Sustainable-development-goals/content/wb-home/en/projects-operations/results/2024/03/13/promoting-livable-cities-by-investing-in-urban-mobility2024-03-14T20:42:00ZtrueAfrica,Latin America and Caribbeancq5Brazil,Peru,Senegal,Nigeria,Tanzania,EcuadorBR,PE,SN,NG,TZ,ECResultsResultsGlobalTransport, TRAM2Q2NzI4ODdhMmNkZGZkM2NlNjdhNWRiNWFkYzMxYTI5NDMzYzQ4Yg2http://www.banquemondiale.org/fr/news/press-release/2024/03/08/advancing-climate-smart-agriculture-technologies-in-africaEthiopia,Ghana,Kenya,Mali,Senegal,ZambiaLa Banque mondiale a approuvé aujourd’hui une enveloppe de dons d’un montant de 40 millions de dollars de l’IDA en faveur du projet AICCRA (« Accélérer l’impact de la recherche climatique du CGIAR en Afrique »).
