Could 2021 be the beginning of the end for the internal combustion engine? In a pivotal year for climate action, the tipping point for zero emission vehicles is getting closer as businesses, governments, cities, states and regions around the world push forward ambitious commitments. But these pockets of leadership are not enough to win the race to zero – more needs to be done and faster.
Join us for this milestone RouteZero event at COP26 and hear from international political, corporate and civil society leaders about the exciting advancements driving forward the transition to zero emission vehicles.
