This report explores land transport emissions trends and mitigation potential relative to the 2 degree Celsius Target (2DS) and 1.5 degree Celsius Target (1.5DS) called for under the Paris Agreement on climate change.

NDCs represent a unique opportunity to increase bold mitigation and adaptation measures in transport and other sectors as all Parties to the UNFCCC are communicating their commitments to reduce emissions and increase resilience on sectorial scales in the context of the UNFCCC system.

This State Energy Efficiency Index has been developed by Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) in association with Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE) and categorises states as ‘Front Runner’, ‘Achiever’, ‘Contender’ and ‘Aspirant’ based upon their efforts and achievements towards energy efficiency implementation.

In view of financing India’s ongoing energy transition, the bond market could be a critical source of debt finance for the energy transition. Identifying this potential, this report presents a detailed analysis of the case for green bonds as a complementary source of debt capital.

This report embodies information on national circumstances, national GHG inventory, mitigation actions, and an analysis of the constraints, gaps, and related finance, technology and capacity building needs, including information on domestic Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV).

This report presents shared transportation as a new paradigm of urban mobility. Highlighting the issue of car dominance in the cities, some approaches to mitigating urban mobility problems are summarized.

The focus of the study is twofold: First, it assesses if current life cycle assessment methodologies are fit for purpose and able to address full life-cycle impacts of new mobility services, and proposes methodological improvements where they are not. Second, the report analyses the life-cycle performance of a range of new vehicles and services based on their technical characteristics, operation, and maintenance, and compares it with that of privately owned cars and public transport.

This report outlines the current status of technical regulations and standards for heavy low- and zero-emission vehicles (LZEVs). These include in particular fuel cell electric vehicles and plug electric vehicles, i.e. battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids

This report investigates one particular scenario, ‘the large-scale deployment of shared vehicle fleets that provide on-demand transport. A different configuration where shared mobility is delivered by a fleet of six-seat vehicles (“Shared Taxis”) that offer on-demand, door-to-door shared rides in conjunction with a fleet of eight-person and 16-person mini-buses (“Taxi-Buses”) that serve pop-up stops on demand and provide transfer-free rides is examined here.

Highlighting the issue of urban motorization which ultimately drives CO2 growth in China and India, this report approaches modeling urban transport policy options for these world’s two most populous countries.
