Abstract:

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. The International Transport Forum explored how urban mobility would develop under different policy scenarios, notably how effective different types of policies and measures are in reducing transport CO2 emissions for five Chinese and five Indian cities. Data related rise of the motor vehicle and increased level of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the transport sector in China and India are also presented this report.
