#COP26 This formula fights climate change: km=2*(population/1000)
#COP26 To avert climate change and limit warming to 1.5Β°C we need to reduce carbon emissions from transport - in fact transport is the problem child of carbon emissions. In many countries transport emissions are rising while all other emissions are falling H/T @SLOCATOfficial 2/n
