T-1A1a-7 - Shift to online meetings and services

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-7 - Smart Mobility.

Digital technologies are making it more viable for people to work from home. This has the potential to reduce the amount of daily office commutes by car - as well as longer-distance business trips by car or airplane.
