Strategic exploratory study on low-carbon mobility in Geneva in 2050
In order to limit the rise in temperature to 1.5°C, in accordance with the Paris Agreement adopted in 2015, experts recommend a global reduction in emissions of 45% by 2030 and the achievement of carbon neutrality by 2050. For Grand Genève, these objectives imply a reduction of about 40% to 60% in 2030 and about 90% of GHG emissions by 2050 for net carbon neutrality. As far as mobility is concerned, reaching such an objective requires a switch to electric mobility, but also a very proactive policy of modal shift and relocation of activities in the vicinity, as well as support for the population in their transition to sustainable mobility. In this context, the study aims to contribute to the establishment of a strategy to achieve the ecological transition of the mobility sector in Grand Genève.
