COP Progress Update
At COP28, Breakthrough Agenda governments called on leading initiatives to continue working toward setting common and coordinated zero-emission vehicle transition targets and to send a global collective market signal in support of a Paris Agreement-aligned future. They nominated the Accelerating to Zero Coalition to coordinate across the initiatives and to review and communicate progress at COP29.
A multi-pronged approach is essential to accelerating a global ZEV transition and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement
COP29 Update
A multi-pronged approach is essential to accelerate the ZEV transition. To meet climate goals, governments must implement robust policies and regulations that incentivize ZEV adoption, including financial incentives, vehicle performance standards, and infrastructure investments. Businesses must accelerate the development and deployment of ZEV technologies, while also investing in research and development to drive further innovation.
Progress Toward a Paris-aligned ZEV Transition
Countries representing 30% of global light-duty vehicle sales, have adopted binding policies or set voluntary commitments to achieve 100% ZEV sales on a Paris-aligned timeline.
Countries representing 27% of global medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales, have set voluntary commitments to achieve 100% ZEV sales on a Paris-aligned timeline.
Initiative Progress
Building on last year’s update, the COP29 Progress Update highlights successful case studies from diverse stakeholders—including governments, automakers, truck manufacturers, and fleet owners and operators—to showcase the tangible impact of these initiatives and their contributions towards a Paris-aligned emissions pathway.
Progress across several international initiatives are detailed within the update and are collectively working to develop coordinated signals for an accelerated ZEV transition. Read full highlights »
