Ethiopia’s transport sector, a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, is targeted for decarbonization through electrification, public transport expansion, and efficiency improvements. The BAU scenario assumes continued reliance on fossil fuels, leading to escalating emissions from the transport sector. In contrast, the low-emission scenario envisions a transition to electric vehicles (EVs), development of robust public transportation systems, and greater investment in non-motorized transport options, such as walking and cycling infrastructure. Climate resilience efforts in the transport sector focus on adapting infrastructure to withstand extreme weather events, such as floods and heatwaves, which are expected to increase with climate change.
