Mitigation Potential Estimates for 1.5 Degree Scenario in Transport
To carry out a robust analysis of transport carbon emissions growth in different typologies of countries, we carried out a meta-analysis with extensive literature review reviewing more than 500 modelling estimates to extract detailed transport sector-related bottom-up projections for BAU and low carbon scenario for 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050 and aggregating the projections to get a global estimate. The data are included in the accompanying Excel workbook.
