Transport, Climate and Sustainability Global Status Report– 4th Edition

Accelerating Action with Knowledge

We’re excited to share that the 4th edition of the SLOCAT Transport, Climate and Sustainability Global Status Report (GSR) is here!

The GSR is our one-stop hub for the latest data, trends, and policies shaping sustainable transport worldwide. It brings together up-to-date insights on the key challenges and opportunities in the sector—covering demand, use, and access to transport, climate and sustainability trends, as well as policy and investment developments.

The goal? Equip decision-makers and actors within and beyond the transport sector with an assessment of the current situation, and knowledge for faster, bolder climate and sustainability action in transport.

Since 2018 and over four editions, the GSR has grown into a powerful collective effort, with over 300 experts from more than 200 organisations from across the globe working together across editions. Whether as advisors, authors, data contributors or peer reviewers, the diverse and multi-disciplinary community behind the GSR is what makes it so rich and relevant.

What’s new in the 4th edition?

We’ve built on everything that’s worked so far and added a sharper sustainability lens. This edition will include:

Key takeaways for smarter, evidence-based policy and investment decisions, as well as monitoring and evaluation.

An accessible and user-friendly format, from interactive website to regional infographics and country fact sheets.
