About this listen

 Gzim Ocakoglu, First Counselor on Mobility and Transport, Delegation of the European Union to the US (Washington, DC). Gzim explains how decarbonization of transportation is happening across the European Union and what that means. He discusses the goals of the EU's Green Deal, how the European Union and the United States are cooperating, and some of the differences and similarities. Finally, he touches on how Russia's aggression in Ukraine affects the EU decarbonization efforts. The EU aims to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. The EU's Green Deal includes an ambitious package of measures to reach that goal, such as cutting greenhouse gas emissions, investing in cutting-edge research and innovation, preserving Europe's natural environment, and more. Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities. Road transport is by far the biggest emitter accounting for more than 70% of all GHG emissions, followed by maritime and air. Decarbonization of transportation – road, air, and maritime – is a key component of the EU strategy. In the United States, transportation surpassed electricity as the largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2017, so decarbonizing the sector is key to addressing climate change. President Biden's initial proposal in the American Jobs Plan has been scaled back significantly in negotiations, and it remains to be seen how the recently passed Infrastructure Bill will help address the President's energy and climate strategy when it comes to transportation.
