Towards Technology Transfer in the Transport Sector
The Transport Section of GTZ has analyzed the 51 transport chapters out of 71 Technology Need Assessments (TNA), available on the UNFCCC webpage. They were submitted mainly between 2000 and 2005. The analysis gives interesting insights: Other than the TNA Handbook suggests, not only "hard", vehicle-related technologies, but public transport and urban planning skills play an important role for a sustainable, low carbon development in developing countries. The short paper also suggests how to best consider transport in TNAs. And check your countries performance and needs! Download the 4-page fact-sheet here.
GTZ Module on "Adapting Urban Transport to Climate Change"
Many transport decision-makers in developing countries are already confronted with extreme weather events, such as flooding, subsidence and storms, all of which are expected to increase with climate change. In the worst case, transportation systems may not be able to recover between such events, resulting in exponential damages.
GTZ Module on "Transport and Climate Change"
In October 2007 GTZ published a comprehensive module on transport and climate change within its sourcebook for decision-makers in developing cities. The module focuses on the sustainable transport instruments available that will help achieve both reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and co-benefts. In addressing the impacts of climate change through sustainable transport instruments, cities are also able to beneft from a range of co-benefts, including improved air quality, reduced noise from traffic, increased road safety, and a range of social and economic benefts.
GTZ Module on "The CDM in the Transport Sector"
The Kyoto Protocol entered into force on February 16th 2005. The Protocol has as target to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and includes binding emission reduction com- mitments for Annex I countries (industrialized economies). The Protocol establishes three innovative "mechanisms" known as Joint Implemen- tation, the Clean Development Mechanism and Emissions Trading.
