Urban Transport and Climate Change Action Plans - Details
More and more cities around the world are developing dedicated Climate Action Plans to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and improve the local air quality for their inhabitants.
The transport sector usually plays a crucial role in any such strategy. In many cases, transportation is the primary source of CO2 and other GHGs, contributing up to 40 percent of the cities' total emissions. The measures initiated to reduce these negative impacts of urban transport take many forms. Increasing the share of Public Transport and non-motorised modes such as walking and cycling are core elements in many emission reduction strategies, but most often they are supplemented by other short- and long-term measures. One key feature of most actions proposed is that they provide several co-benefits: Many options not only reduce GHG emissions and improve air quality, but also enhance energy efficiency and - especially in the developing world - contribute to better transport services for the poor.
Achieving Sustainable Mobility in Developing Countries: Suggestions for a Post-2012 Agreement
Article by Daniel Bongardt,Wolfgang Sterk, Frederic Rudolph Further rapid motorisation of developing countries could counteract climate efforts and aggravate problems of noxious emissions, noise, and traffic congestion.Which provisions should a global climate change agreement include for reducing transport-related CO2 emissions in developing countries?
SEOUL STATEMENT: Towards the Promotion of Environmentally Sustainable Transport (EST) for a Low-Carbon Society and Green Growth in Asia
The participants, having met in Seoul, the Republic of Korea from 24 to 26 February 2009, for the Fourth Regional EST Forum, to draw up and adopt a statement for the promotion of environmentally sustainable transport in Asia.
The Clean Air Institute "Report and Strategy to Improve the Effectiveness of CDM to Foster Sustainable Transportation
Global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emis- sions are rising rapidly, and the transport sector is one of the largest and fastest growing GHG sources. For example, between 1990 and 2002, transport-related CO2 emissions doubled in China, Indonesia and South Korea, and further substantial increases are expected unless strong action is taken.
Kyoto Declaration on EST signed by 34 Asian cities/Mayors
Subsequently twelve Asian cities (Baguio, Bangkok, Batam, Cebu, Colombo, Guwahati, Karachi, Kathmandu, Makassar, Makati, Palembang, and Surat) having met in the Special Event of Asian Mayors on Environmentally Sustainable Transport during Better Air Quality (BAQ) 2008 Workshop in Bangkok, Thailand on 12 November 2008, unanimously endorsed and signed the Kyoto Declaration for the promotion of environmentally sustainable transport (EST) in Asia.
