Speizer, S., Fuhrman, J., Aldrete Lopez, L. et al. Integrated assessment modeling of a zero-emissions global transportation sector. Nat Commun

Objective:

• Examine decarbonization scenarios for the entire global transportation sector consistent with limiting the end-of-century warming to 1.5°C

Case:

• Global

Methodology:

• IAM: GCAM

Data Source

• Emission
• Transport
• Energy

Findings:

• Residents in monocentric cities face increasing commuting distances as city expand, in contrast to the consistent commuting patterns observed in polycentric cities

• Employment attraction and commuting distance scaling are key to explaining the divergent mobility patterns
