Abstract

The last 20 years transportation has moved from very energy efficient means to very energy inefficient means of moving goods and people. From rail and ship to road transport and aviation. Today road transport is aboslute the largest emitter of GHG, and still. Trains and shipping are absolutely the most energy effective modes of transportation and for the past decades they have been further streamlined and more energy efficient, as trains have become electrified, and ships become larger and more efficient in energy consumption. The chapter gives a statistic and scientific insight to the transportation sector and describes some of the disrupting elements of this sector and the future demands of logistics. The regionalisation of the economies, the transition to a Circular Economy and new technologies including electrification will change the means of transportation. The perspectives of public transportation is debated to make cities liveable again instead of hotspot for vehicles. The positive and regenerative effects of a holistic approach to sustainable individual and public transport is highlighted as a part of the Climate Nexus.
