OGUTU, Moses O.; AVEDI, Evans  y  OMONDI, Jack. Decarbonising road transport in Africa: Strategies for a just and sustainable transition. S. Afr. j. sci. [online]. 2025, vol.121, n.5-6, pp.1-6. ISSN 1996-7489.  https://doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2025/21845.

SIGNIFICANCE: Although Africa's transport sector emissions remain low, the continent's ongoing economic and social development and rapid urbanisation suggest it will witness substantial growth in vehicle usage. This will result in higher transport-related emissions and associated environmental, economic and social impacts. Therefore, it is critical to explore emissions reduction and climate-resilient strategies. This commentary highlights the status, strategies, technologies and cross-cutting issues that are essential in transitioning to a net-zero road transport sector in Africa. It also underlines the role of the enable-avoid-shift-improve-resilience (EASIR) framework in the holistic decarbonisation of transport and the multiple-level perspective in addressing the challenges posed by dominant frameworks and entrenched regimes.

Palabras clave : decarbonisation; EASIR framework; just transition; multi-level perspective; electric mobility.
