Strong measures will be needed if the Nordic and Baltic countries are to reduce emissions from road traffic quickly and radically. The socio-economic cost of replacing fossil fuels with fossil-free technology on a large scale is in many cases higher in the transport sector than in electricity generation, industry and heating. The reason it is important to phase out road traffic emissions before less expensive measures have been fully implemented in other sectors is that the transition would otherwise take too long if the aim is to help the world meet the 1.5°C goal.
