The Transport Greenhouse Gas Emissions Database Projects (links to database page) supports the development of an ongoing series of comprehensive reports and concise analyses on transport GHG emissions.
Two main reports will be developed in preparation of COP21, which will provide a comprehensive picture of the emissions trends and mitigation potential of the transport sector in various countries for the pre- and post-2020 periods.
A recent update by the International Transport Forum on investment and maintenance expenditure on transport infrastructure for 1995-2013 shows that continued economic crisis has had an impact on transport infrastructure investment in OECD countries. The data is based on a survey sent to 54 ITF member countries (at the time of the data collection), which covers total gross investment (i.e.
In October 2016, Habitat III will set the agenda for urban development over the next decade, and scaling up sustainable transport infrastructure and services within the world’s cities will be a critical component in the sustainable urban development process.
‘The 2015 New Climate Economy Report’, published by The New Climate Economy, identifies ten key areas of opportunity for stronger climate action which will also bring significant economic benefits. Transport is listed under two of the ten key areas to facilitate a low carbon, sustainable economic growth.
The Third International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD3) was held from 13-16 July 2015 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. FfD3 followed on the first international conference on FfD in 2002, which yielded the Monterrey Consensus, and the second international FfD conference in 2008, which produced the Doha Declaration.
This product contains a database of mitigation potential studies to assess opportunities to reduce the future growth in transport emissions relative to business-as-usual (BAU) baselines (as established under the product described previously). These studies include projections of transport sector mitigation potential (supported by specific low-carbon transport mitigation strategies), which are crucially broken down by sub-sector (e.g. road, railways, waterways, aviation) to help to identify areas that require the greatest degree of intervention to meet transport emission targets.
