Our commitment to drive change in mobility The Challenge: The transportation sector faces significant challenges as the global demand for mobility and logistics continues to grow. Greenhouse gas emissions: By contributing approximately 25% of all global greenhouse gas emissions, the transportation sector is a leading cause of climate change. Natural resources consumption: Natural resources are heavily relied upon for the production of vehicles, fuels, and infrastructure in the transportation sector, which can have significant environmental impacts. Congestion: Traffic congestion in urban areas is a major challenge that requires a combination of infrastructure improvements, public transportation options, and changes in behavior. Physical footprint: The transportation sector requires a significant amount of physical space for roads, parking, and other infrastructure, leading to habitat destruction, loss of green space, and decreased livability in urban areas. Innovation as a Solution: At Rethink Ventures, we strongly in believe innovation and new technologies to create a world in which transportation is emission-free and sustainable.
