ABSTRACT The impact of population mobility and transportation choices on the environment is significant. Sustainable policies require an understanding evolving patterns. This study examines global variations across countries using COVID‐19 Community Mobility Reports. Employing k‐medoids algorithm Dynamic Time Warping, we analyzed dynamics. Results reveal diverse changes in mobility. Around 52 Global North exhibit approximately 10% reduction professional activity‐related traffic post‐COVID‐19. Regarding urban green space mobility, only 29 strong seasonality, with summer northern hemisphere peaking at about 150% higher than winter traffic. Three groups are identified concerning public transport mobility: returning to pre‐pandemic levels, experiencing a 25% increase, nearly doubling from levels. underscores key determinants for sustainable policy implementation. Fifteen highly developed share similar patterns six areas studied, facilitating exchange solutions best practices. research importance addressing effective environmental planning.
