With transportation currently accounting for 19 percent of all greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions, now is the time to capitalize on the growing demand for vehicles that are helping to combat climate change. Explore these opportunities in a new article, and get smart about the risks and rewards of the industry’s transition to a net-zero future.

Quote of the Day

“If we’re to be serious about net zero, we’re going to have to focus not just on more rapid cuts in emissions in the future, but also carbon removal… We never talk enough about carbon removal. And for me, that is a huge missing part and also a massive opportunity for governments and the private sector.”

—Claire O’Neill, co-chair of the WBCSD Imperatives Advisory Board, on the growing role of business in the net-zero transition in a new episode of McKinsey Global Institute’s Forward Thinking podcast
