Uber is working with the World Resources Institute, Transport & Environment (T&E), and others to become a stronger partner in the fight against climate change. While the company has taken steps, from expanding micromobility options to offering public transit in the Uber app, the company plans to further expedite the global transition to clean energy.
The company has committed to become a fully zero-emission platform by 2040, with 100% of rides taking place in zero-emission vehicles, on public transit, or with micromobility.
Uber will take a holistic approach to reducing emissions, starting with 4 key actions:
- Expanding Uber Green to make it easier for riders to choose to travel in hybrids or EVs.
- Committing $800 million in resources to help hundreds of thousands of drivers transition to EVs by 2025.
- Investing in our multimodal network to promote sustainable alternatives to personal cars.
- Being transparent and accountable to the public along the way.
It has also set an earlier goal to have 100% of rides take place in electric vehicles (EVs) in US, Canadian, and European cities by 2030. The company is also committed to reaching net-zero emissions from our corporate operations by 2030. Hitting these goals would put the company a decade ahead of Paris Climate Agreement targets.
