Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Market barriers hindering the uptake of circular processes, products, and services in the automotive industry.
• Insufficient policy action addressing market failures and creating counterproductive incentives.
• Prevailing consumer habits and use patterns leading to inefficient vehicle use.
• Traditional business models focusing on selling cars as products rather than services.
• Lack of data availability for integrated, sustainable mobility systems.
• Inadequate infrastructure and alternative transport modes.
• Dispersed mobility-related policies across various authorities.
• Insufficient understanding of social implications of the circular transition.

Mitigation Strategies

• Create cross-cutting market enablers (life-cycle perspectives in carbon legislation, improved data availability).
• Reshape economic incentives (taxation, carbon pricing, investments).
• Harmonize and strengthen existing measures (ELV Directive, Battery Regulation, vehicle access regulation).

• Support for capacity building of national statistical offices in Indonesia, Ethiopia, and Trinidad and Tobago on measures of development beyond GDP.
• Work with governments to revise treaties or draft new policies, plans, and legislation, strengthening capacity for sustainable development.

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Slow progress on fossil fuel subsidy reform by G20 leaders.
• Need for greater financial resources for sustainable development in the Global South.
• Challenges in implementing national adaptation plans in developing countries.

Mitigation Strategies

• Providing technical support and advice to governments to facilitate policy changes.
• Convening workshops and events to bring together stakeholders and share best practices.

Environmental Achievements

• Fossil fuel-free steel production technologies can reduce GHG emissions related to vehicle steel by over 95% and reduce vehicle manufacturing emissions overall by up to 27%

Social Achievements

Governance Achievements

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• High cost of green steel (20%-30% more than coal-based steel), limited supply of high-grade secondary steel for automotive applications, and the need for commitments from buyers to increase fossil fuel-free primary steel production capacity.

Mitigation Strategies

• Automakers can support the transition by making purchase agreements with steel producers, investing in producers, aggregating demand, joining coalitions with green steel purchase targets, tracking recycled steel content, designing for recyclability, and implementing lightweight designs.
