Abstract:

Tracking emissions trends in the transport sector is an essential step in defining possible transport components of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) from UNFCCC parties and helps to determine national and global mitigation targets.This report informs the contribution of transport sector to global CO2 emissions and also the role that transport should play in mitigation strategies. This report highlighted analysis of transport emission trends to illustrate national and regional trends in three areas: (1) transport sector share of emissions relative to total emissions from fuel combustion, (2) growth of transport sector emissions, and (3) absolute and per capita emissions from transport, as normalized by a number of key variables.
