The climate crisis poses a threat to life on the planet, with human health, ecosystem, and economic impacts globally. These impacts are projected to worsen in the future, as greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise and warming to date continues to produce adverse effects. For example, in 2022 alone, the United States experienced 18 separate billion-dollar weather and climate disasters, totaling $165.1 billion. With the transportation sector being a leading source of emissions, it is essential that immediate steps are taken to decarbonize transportation and to continue to invest in the research needed for our decarbonization commitments to be met.
