Accelerating to Zero coalition (A2Z)

The Accelerating to Zero (A2Z) Coalition was launched at COP27 to support the growing number of signatories and to further accelerate the transition of the global transportation sector. A2Z serves as a platform for signatories to coordinate, align activities, and amplify messaging as they fulfill their ambitious pledge that all sales of new cars and vans be zero emission by 2040, and by 2035 in leading markets. We function as the ZEV Declaration’s extension of operations, executing activities to ensure the message of ambition represented by the Declaration is widely heard and turned into action. A2Z provides implementation support for signatories to develop and implement ambitious zero-emission transportation policies and plans, showcases examples of leadership within the ZEV community, and monitors progress on the global transition. The A2Z Coalition is a collaboration of the International Council on Clean Transportation, who serves as Secretariat, as well as Ceres, Climate Group, Drive Electric Campaign, and the Government of the United Kingdom, who together comprise the A2Z Steering Committee.
