Title -  Green Corridors: Policy and Infrastructure for Low-Carbon Transport Transport is one of the largest sources of  carbon emissions  across the world. Ships, trucks, trains, and city traffic move goods and people every day, but they also consume large amounts of fuel and pollute the air. As trade grows and cities expand, cutting emissions from transport has become a priority for governments and planners.
