Sustainable mobility, combining technological innovation, urban transformation, and international cooperation, is emerging as a strategic and social necessity for building a greener, more seamless, and more inclusive future.
Sustainable mobility has become a major global challenge. In 2025, the transport sector accounts for 20–25% of global carbon emissions, making it a key area for achieving the climate objectives set out in the Paris Agreement. To make transport smarter, cleaner, and safer, global investment in infrastructure will need to reach $417 billion per year by 2030, representing a significant increase from current levels. South Korea, recognized for its leadership in innovation, illustrates this momentum. The country’s electric vehicle market is expected to generate $7.9 billion in 2024, with an average annual growth rate of 5.49% forecast through 2029, bringing revenues to $10.4 billion. These figures highlight the scale of the transformation underway and Korea’s central role in the development of sustainable mobility technologies worldwide.
