SUSTAINABLE WORLD
TRANSPORT

This fascinating new series explores the global issue of sustainable development. Everyone in the world uses some form of transport almost every day of their lives. However, transport is one of the greatest causes of damage to our planet. Carbon-dioxide emissions contribute to climate change, and transport congestion, injuries and deaths affect millions of people every year. If humankind and the Earth we live on are to survive, we have to develop – and use – forms of transport that do not cause harm to others, or to the environment. Such transport is called sustainable – and this book explains how transport must change and evolve in the future.
