Clean transportation

Shifting to electric vehicles and sustainable fuels

The problem: Transportation continues to run mostly on fossil fuels, creating about 20% of the world’s pollution as demand keeps rising. This pollution is a major contributor to climate change and causes serious health issues including lung disease and heart problems, as well as millions of early deaths each year.

What we’re doing about it: We’re speeding up the transition to electric cars and trucks and driving the adoption of cleaner fuels for planes and ships. We focus first on the people hit hardest by pollution — those living near highways, ports and industrial zones. By 2030, our goal is to get the policies and investments in place to keep the transition on track.
