One of the greatest environmental challenges we face today is mobility. Around a quarter of global CO2 emissions come from the transportation of people and goods. This photo essay focuses on green mobility through abstract images of movement in urban spaces.
People cannot remain still for long periods. We are always on the move, either physically or mentally. The global pandemic forced us to pause and put mobility on hold for a while. Now, the pulse of everyday life is back in full force. The cities have awakened.
Mobility is a crucial part of modern life, enabling us to commute to work, access goods and services, and connect with others. Mobility also keep us healthy and fit as we pursue physical activity.
However, mobility has a downside. Our need to get around has social, economic and environmental consequences, such as congestion, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, there is increasing interest in promoting sustainable mobility, aiming to reduce the negative impacts of transportation while maintaining access and mobility for all.
This photo essay captures mobility in abstract form, using long exposure and horizontal movements with the camera during exposure, also known as panning.
