Achieving a truly sustainable energy transition requires progress across multiple dimensions beyond climate change mitigation goals. This article reviews and synthesizes results from disparate strands of literature on the coeffects to inform policy choices at different governance levels. The documents many potential cobenefits for nonclimate objectives, such as human health security, but little is known about their overall welfare implications. Integrated model studies highlight that...
Abstract A number of critical disconnects across sectors, actors continue to affect implementation action on sustainable development and climate action. Even when technical solutions, political commitments, funding streams are avaiable, often remains siloed fragmented. This debate piece does not present definitive solutions or conclusive evidence; rather, it aims foster reflection how co-design, participatory approaches, Living Labs, epistemically connected actor coalitions may help break...
As of June 2017, 150 countries have ratified the Paris Climate Agreement. This agreement calls for, among other things, strong reductions in CO2 emissions by 2030 and beyond. paper reviews Nationally Determined Contribution (NDCs) plans six Association Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) compares their current projected future levels across sectors, stated targets context economic demographic situations. comparison reveals wide variations types targets, with “ambition” level changing as...
This paper outlines the key elements of a low‐carbon stabilization pathway for land transport, focusing on potential policy measures at local and national level, opportunities synergies sustainable development climate change objectives, governance institutional issues affecting implementation measures. It combines several approaches to provide an integrated view decarbonization transport sector based recent literature. will assess quantitative basis mitigation pathways then look into aspects...
The Transport Decarbonisation Index (TDI) is a novel indicator-based diagnostic toolkit designed to help low- and middle-income countries benchmark their surface transport systems’ readiness for sustainability decarbonisation. TDI employs 30 indicators, classified into eight dimensions covering sustainable, low-carbon transport. were identified using four-phase approach. Through pilot testing in 12 across Sub-Saharan Africa South Asia, the benchmarks performance, enabling policymakers...
Global transportation energy use is steeply rising, mainly as a result of increasing population and economic activity. Petroleum fuels remain the dominant source, reflecting advantages such high density, low cost, market availability. The movement people freight makes major contribution to development social well-being, but it also negatively impacts climate change, air quality, health, cohesion, safety. Following review published 20 years ago in Annual Review Environment Resources (then...
Considerable efficiency gains can be made cost-effectively to set the transport sector on a sustainable development pathway. They achieved through already available technologies and practices, which will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly, but also generate social, environmental economic co-benefits. However, progress in take-up of low-carbon mobility measures substantially lags behind potential. A number barriers contribute this lack uptake. This paper explores those by...
The transport sector is the second largest and one of fastest growing energy end-use sectors, representing 24% global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. International Energy Agency has developed scenarios for within overall concept mitigation pathways that would be required to limit warming 2 °C. This paper builds on these illustrates various passenger travel-related strategies achieving a 2° scenario, in particular looking at how much technology improvement needed light different...
The lack of suitable tools to assess sustainable mobility measures' costs, benefits and overall impacts is a significant factor impeding their implementation. Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) often applied large-scale infrastructure projects, but does not capture all relevant socio-economic impacts. Small-scale potentially highly cost-effective measures do have the critical mass warrant thorough cost-benefit analysis. This paper reviews existing assessment methodologies, including advantages,...
Electric mobility is beginning to enter East African cities. This paper aims investigate what policy-level solutions and stakeholder constellations are established in the context of electric (e-mobility) Dar es Salaam, Kigali, Kisumu Nairobi which ways they attempt tackle implementation solutions. The study employs two key methods including content analysis policy programmatic documents interviews based on a purposive sampling approach with stakeholders involved transitions. findings point...
The number of motorcycle taxis has soared in East African cities over the last decades, filling a gap mobility needs while providing revenue opportunities to drivers. However, poor road safety combined with contribution carbon emissions and air pollution creates sustainability conundrum, which led governments control or repress mode, yet without much success. After reviewing characteristics regulation Nairobi, Kigali, Kampala, this study investigates existence impacts two recent trends:...
Many low-carbon transport strategies can help achieve other economic, social and environmental objectives. These include improving access to mobility, reducing traffic parking congestion, saving consumers money, supporting economic development, increasing public health safety, air noise pollution. Based on Avoid-Shift-Improve approaches case studies from Germany, Colombia, India Singapore, this paper shows that generates significant quantifiable benefits create a basis for political societal...
Many cities all over the world highlight need to transform their urban mobility systems into more sustainable ones, confront pressing issues such as air and noise pollution, deliver on climate change mitigation action. While support of innovations is high agenda both national local authorities, consciously phasing-out unsustainable technologies practices often neglected. However, this other side policy coin, ‘exnovation’, a crucial element for transition. We developed framework facilitate...
As the recent withdrawal of United States from Paris Agreement has shown, political volatility directly affects climate change mitigation policies, in particular sectors, such as transport associated with long-term investments by individuals (vehicles) and local national governments (urban form infrastructure services). There is a large potential for cost-effective solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions improve sustainability sector that yet unexploited. Considering cost-effectiveness...
There is a large potential for cost-effective solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the sustainability of transport sector that yet unexploited. Considering cost-effectiveness co-benefits, it hard understand why energy gains mitigation action in still lagging behind potential. Particularly interesting fact there substantial difference among countries with relatively similar economic performances, such as OECD development their CO2 emission over past thirty years despite...
Abstract This paper presents a novel governance concept for sustainable development, introducing the 'Safe System Approach' as transformative model that shifts focus from individual behavioural change to systemic transformation. approach challenges traditional models emphasize responsibility in achieving development and decarbonization. Instead, it advocates creating an enabling environment inherently guides individuals communities towards actions. The Safe Approach is centred on delivering...
This article aims to analyse the potential for international climate governance promote decarbonisation of land transport. It first summarises challenges and barriers that impede transformation sector. On this basis, discusses how could potentially assist with overcoming these mobilising potentials. Subsequently, analyses what extent existing institutions deliver on identified. The analysis finds while there is a large number trying transport, none them emerge saliently as hubs or core...
