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

About SLOCAT

SLOCAT accelerates the transformation of transport systems and services towards inclusive, healthy, green and resilient solutions for people and the planet. SLOCAT provides collaborative data and evidence-based knowledge, action initiatives, political strategies, dialogue, and strategic communications. This helps build collective thought leadership and advocacy at the crossroads of transport, sustainability, climate and social justice issues.

SLOCAT emphasises all land transport modes with universal analyses and actions, especially for low- and middle-income countries. As a multi-sectoral partnership, SLOCAT leverages the expertise and action of an ecosystem of over 100 entities, including transport professional associations, NGOs, academia, governments, multilateral organisations, philanthropy, and business. Created in 2009 as a “coalition of the willing” committed to accelerating the development of sustainable, low-carbon transport, since then the SLOCAT Partnership’s mandate has been to go where others do not or cannot go individually in order to set bold global agendas, amplify the voices of the movement at international climate and sustainability discussions, and foster collaboration for policy and societal change.

About the Report

The GSR is your one stop-hub for the latest data, trends, and policies shaping sustainable transport worldwide, covering demand, use and access to transport; climate and sustainability trends; and policy and investment developments. The goal? Equip decision-makers and actors within and beyond transport with an assessment of where we stand, and knowledge for faster, bolder action.

Since 2018 and over four editions, the GSR has grown into a powerful collective effort, with 300+ experts from 200+ organisations worldwide as advisors, authors, data contributors and peer reviewers. This diverse community is what makes the GSR rich and relevant.

How to navigate the modular approach of GSR4

GSR4 consists of six modules, and a set of country factsheets. While the full report, modules and factsheets can be downloaded as a single file and read from start to finish, it is also possible to download each of them individually from the website.

Information sources and references are listed at the end of each chapter or spotlight, and cross references among chapters are included where relevant.
