Driving less would make a huge impact, around 45% of all transport related emissions are from passenger traffic, that’s buses, taxis, and most of all regular people driving their cars. Transport related emissions accounts for 24% of global emissions, so just passenger traffic is almost 11% of global emissions. Everyone hates aviation, but that’s “only” around 3% of global emissions, shipping also around 3%, and road freight is 7%.
