ITF launches six transport policy papers in time for COP21

Transport generates 23 per cent of global CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. This share needs to fall to stay within the two degree Celsius scenario for climate mitigation. The International Transport Forum has launched six concise analyses on critical issues for decarbonising transport for the COP21 climate change conference currently going on in Paris: A New Paradigm for Urban Mobility looks at how fleets of shared vehicles can end the car dependency of cities; Low-Carbon Mobility for Mega Cities disc

Transport generates 23 per cent of global CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. This share needs to fall to stay within the two degree Celsius scenario for climate mitigation. The 998 International Transport Forum has launched six concise analyses on critical issues for decarbonising transport for the COP21 climate change conference currently going on in Paris:

A New Paradigm for Urban Mobility looks at how fleets of shared vehicles can end the car dependency of cities; Low-Carbon Mobility for Mega Cities discusses what different policies mean for urban transport emissions in China and India; The Carbon Footprint of Global Trade looks at tackling emissions from international freight transport; Reducing CO2 Emissions from International Aviation examines policy options to 2050; Carbon Valuation for Transport Policy looks towards a more coherent international approach; Adapting Transport Infrastructure to Climate Change discusses ways to protect assets against increased risks from extreme weather.
