Discover how high-speed rail is revolutionizing sustainable travel with 95% fewer emissions than cars and planes Why High-Speed Rail Is Critical for Fighting Climate Change Many of the studies on the High-Speed Rail Canada website show the environmental benefits of high-speed rail. Here is a global summary of the positives of implementing high-speed rail and combatting climate change.The global transportation sector faces an urgent crisis. In 2022 alone, transport CO2 emissions grew by 3%, making it one of the fastest-growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. With traditional climate solutions falling short, high-speed rail (HSR) emerges as a game-changing technology that can dramatically reduce transport emissions while providing superior passenger experience.
