This report by US research body ITS UC Davis and the UK Government’s ZEV Transition Council (ZEVTC), supported by the FIA Foundation examines the status of zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) uptake across the world and considers how to accelerate the transition as part of emergency measures to avoid a climate catastrophe. Recommendations include the need to recognise the varied levels of ZEV policies across the Global South, to appreciate the profound need for equitable funding, and secure collective global buy-in to address the global challenge.

This paper aims to contribute to achieving a ‘safe and healthy journey for every child’. This is a key part of the Habitat III New Urban Agenda, and will contribute to achieving a range of Sustainable Development Goals.

Launched to coincide with the UN Streets for Life campaign, the FIA Foundation’s new Advocacy Hub, based within the Child Health Initiative, will focus on supporting global, national and city campaigns for 30km/h streets where children and youth live, walk and cycle.

The report Renewable Energy Pathways in Road Transport points out five key pathways to limit the growing impact of transport, and especially that of road transport, on global greenhouse gas emissions.

The Manifesto calls for a transformation of urban streets by 2030 into safe, low speed and accessible space that puts people first, encouraging zero carbon walking and cycling, by deploying the ‘Speed Vaccine’: safe footpaths and crossings; protected cycleways; and maximum 30 km/h speed limits anywhere children and traffic mix.

The report highlights the disproportionate exposure to risk of child pedestrians in sub-Saharan Africa and calls for a concerted effort to provide footpaths and reduce vehicle traffic speeds.

Potential changes to the vehicle emissions regime after Brexit could pose real risks to public health, as well as a loss of access to valuable EU markets for the £4.9bn UK motor industry. This report examines some potential regulation scenarios and their impact on a post-Brexit Britain.
