SEVENTY PER CENT of the population in 14 countries believe that climate change is the most serious threat to our future. This uncomfortable truth, uncovered in a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, points to ever-growing public concern about the climate that companies can no longer afford to ignore. That's why companies like Keolis are exploring new ways to reduce the environmental impacts of their activities. Amidst growing public awareness of environmental issues, the international community has officially recognised the need to keep global warming well below 2℃ above pre-industrial levels, while pursuing its efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5℃. But time is running out. To meet the 1.5℃ target, public transport use in cities will have to double by 2030, according to a joint statement released by C40 Cities and the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) during the 2021 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland. |
