The Role of Transportation in Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change Mitigation

Abstract

The type of transportation used in urban areas is important in terms of environmental sustainability. Cities trigger greenhouse gas production and thus climate change with the services they offer. Environmental problems have increased with increasing greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion. In ensuring environmental sustainability, the importance of green transportation types that reduce the number of motor vehicles and fossil fuel dependency, consume less energy, and reduce vehicle-related pollutant problems are mentioned and play an active role in reducing environmental problems. The importance of this study is to address the transportation sector, which is an important source of greenhouse gases, the relationship between the effects of climate change and the transportation sector, and the examination of green transportation policies in reducing the effects of climate change. The study reveals environmentally friendly transportation types in sustainable transportation policies with green transportation systems.
