Since 2018, the 'EU Maritime MRV Regulation', requires shipping companies to monitor and report their fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and other key parameters for their ships when sailing to/from and between ports of the European Economic Area (EEA). Every year, the European...

EIT Urban Mobility is a knowledge and innovation community established by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) in 2019. The EIT is Europe's largest innovation ecosystem, offering education, innovation and business creation services to solve global challenges. EIT Urban...

The SHARED GREEN DEAL project provides Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) tools at the local and regional level, in support of the European Green Deal. Through these tools, the project stimulates behavioural, social and cultural change towards shared action in implementing the EU Green Deal...

This report has been prepared within the 'European Monitor of Industrial Ecosystems' (EMI) project with the objective to analysing the green and digital transformation of industrial ecosystems and progress made over time, in this specific case mobility, transport and automotive. The second...

Energy-related carbon emissions from the transportation sector are one of the major obstacles to achieving global carbon reduction targets. Current research on transportation energy mainly focuses on the energy end-use stage, with a lack of simulations covering both the front-end and end-use...

Background: Thailand is actively transitioning toward electric vehicle adoption as part of its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This study investigates the economic feasibility of replacing diesel buses with electric buses in Thailand's public transportation sector. Methods: The...

This guidance has a focus on tourist mobility, but also takes the needs of locals into account. It is addressed to tourism organisations, mobility operators and managing authorities in rural Europe- and regions that are interested in the topic of sustainable mobility in tourism (environmental,...

This final report was prepared within the framework of the European Commission request MOVE/2022/OP/0008 - Sustainable rural mobility for resilience in support of ecotourism. The European Commission Communication on a Long-term vision for the EU's rural areas outlines strategies to unlock rural...

Emission inventories play a crucial role in identifying the primary sources of atmospheric pollution. In urban environments, including Addis Ababa, elevated concentrations of vehicle emissions pose significant environmental risks. Consequently, measuring vehicle emissions becomes imperative for...

Im Zuge der Enquetekommission "Klimaschutzstrategie für das Land Bremen" hat sich das Land Bremen ambitionierte Ziele zur Erreichung der vollständigen Klimaneutralität bis zum Jahr 2038 gesetzt. Der Mobi- litätssektor und das Mobilitätsverhalten der Bevölkerung sind dort zentrale...

This data report describes the first wave of the RWI Climate-Mobility Panel, a recurring household survey that aims in particular to investigate individual mobility behavior and preferences with regard to mobility-related policies. It further includes information on attitudes towards...

This article explores how digital platforms facilitate entrepreneurship and enable global mobility for digital nomads, i.e., individuals who work remotely while residing in various locations worldwide. The specific focus is on how these platforms influence digital nomads' decision making related...

Promoting and popularly developing urban transport improves environmental sustainability by reducing traffic congestion and air pollution. In the last decade, bus and metro modes, in addition to being the most in-demand, have been the most utilized to offer a practical and sustainable public...

This study presents a systematic review of the academic literature on electric and hybrid vehicles, their ecosystems, and supporting infrastructure over the period 2008-2024. Using the PRISMA methodology, the research evaluates related studies, exploring trends and developments in charging...

Public urban transportation systems are essential for mitigating climate change, leading policymakers to intensify efforts to boost ridership. However, there is not much evidence showing up to what extent, in regions with high crime rates like Latin America, safety perception could limit these...

Germany has implemented a range of measures to mitigate climate change. The implementation of such measures results in the imposition of financial burdens and restrictions on residents. Consequently, individual attitudes toward the fairness and effectiveness of such measures are a critical...
