Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
Opinion / #IEA
Electric vehicles can reduce pollution and emissions. But underlying issues of preserving car dependence, displacing environmental harm and workers bearing the costs of a clean future need to be addressed.

Who should build the low-carbon economy?
Since the first Industrial Revolution, goods and technologies have reached the farthest corners of the world, but the ability to design, build, market, and extract value from them has remained highly concentrated. Unless humanity can break this pattern, a sufficient response to climate change will remain out of reach.
The war in the Gulf has unleashed powerful market forces that the rest of the world can harness to accelerate electrification and keep the Paris climate agreement's primary objectives on track. Doing so will not only mitigate climate change, but also strengthen economic resilience worldwide.
The rise of electric SUVs is challenging the idea of green transport, with experts warning that heavier vehicles could undermine climate, health and equity goals.
