Transportation and mobility demand is expected to grow significantly in the coming decades, driven by multiple factors, including population and economic growth, and urbanization.

Transportation and mobility account for more than 50 percent of current global oil demand, and 23 percent energy-related CO2 emissions, so the outlook for the sector is key to making progress on sustainable development goals.

The Symposium took place in Riyadh and was hosted by IEF's Joseph McMonigle, OPEC's Haitham Al Ghais and IEA's Fatih Birol.
