The SLOCAT Transport and Climate Change Global Status Report – 2nd edition is extremely relevant for India where public transport not only yields climate positive benefits but also offers equitable access to livelihood opportunities. The COVID-19Â induced reduction in transport emissions must sustain and applying the Avoid–Shift–Improve framework is vital to the global strategy of decarbonising transport.
