National governments urged to focus on zero-emission vehicles to meet Paris targets

An alliance of more than 60 state and city governments as well as multinational businesses are now committed to 100 percent zero-emission targets through the Zero Emission Vehicle Challenge.

 

Earthfile, a weekly environment and development program from Channels Television in Nigeria, looks at the various types of environmentally friendly vehicles available and the policies that can help promote and sustain their use.
