This third article in our rail decarbonization series looks at the current state of railway systems around the world and presents actions to accelerate progress toward net zero. The recommendations we provide for rail stakeholders build upon the ecosystem perspective explored in the first article, which discusses how rail decarbonization is inextricably linked to the wider transport sector, energy sector and built environment. The major steps the rail sector needs to take to decarbonize are outlined in the second article.
Here we explore the state of rail decarbonization around the world, presenting a broad perspective from various countries and regions. We then provide specific recommendations for how rail stakeholders can own their part of the rail decarbonization journey.
