Book excerpt: The objective of this report is to indicate some of the main challenges to reducing the environmental impacts of transport and to make suggestions to improve the environmental performance of the transport system as a whole. The report examines issues centred around transport and climate change, which need to be addressed in the coming years. These issues are derived partly from the policy questions that form the backbone of TERM and partly from other ongoing work at EEA. As with previous TERM reports, this report evaluates the indicator trends measuring progress towards existing objectives and targets from EU policy documents and various transport and environmental directives.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to assess the contribution of the White Paper it is important to define the baseline scenario that will provide the benchmark against which we will measure the contribution of the interventions. For the needs of the White Paper evaluation this includes: A description of how the problem and its underlying causes - as identified at the time of the adoption of the White Paper - as expected to evolve in the case of no policy action. A definition of the expected evolution of the relevant parameters of the transport system that reflects the key objectives of the White Paper. This presents in quantitative terms (or when not possible in qualitative terms) the baseline scenario, namely what would have happened if the policies and measures that are deemed to be the result of the White Paper were not in place. For the purposes of this exercise we have used a combination of desk research and modelling. More specifically: We analysed the Impact Assessment study that supported the development of the 2011 White Paper (European Commission, 2011a). We focused on the description of the problem, its underlying root causes and the expected evolution under the 'no policy change' scenario. Where relevant, we have incorporated input from the White Paper Impact Assessment (European Commission, 2011b). The analysis is presented in Section A of this Annex where we present in qualitative terms the main aspects of the Baseline scenario. We have then used the PRIMES-TREMOVE model to quantify the baseline and the Alternative scenarios. The quantitative analysis involves a number of key indicators covering economic, environmental and social aspects of the operation of the transport system and reflects the objectives of the White Paper. In Section B of the present Annex we provide an overview of the key results of the runs of the model for the two scenarios. Finally, as part of a quality check of the results of the baseline scenario, we carry out a comparison between the baseline scenario and the No policy change1 scenario (as presented in the IA study of the White Paper) and we identify areas where there are deviations between the two scenarios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU Commission has set the goal of facilitating a competitive transport system, increasing mobility and supporting growth while simultaneously reaching a target of 60 per cent emissions reductions by 2050. In light of past performance and estimated development, the target will not be reached without further behavioural change in the transport sector. This interdisciplinary book examines how such a behavioural shift can be achieved by various organizational and legal means, focusing primarily on the European Union and its specific policies related to greening transport.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall goal set out in the 2011 White Paper for Transport is to reduce GHG emissions from transport (including international aviation but excluding international shipping) by 2050 to a level that is 60 % below that of 1990. This includes the milestone for 2030 of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport by 20 % compared with 2008 levels. Similarly, emissions from international shipping are to be reduced by 40 % from 2005 levels by 2050. It is to be noted that the White Paper does not assume a linear trajectory of emission reductions, but expects increased decarbonisation efforts after 2030, with cleaner and more efficient technology becoming gradually more widespread. Applying these shares to EEA data1 for EU27, the goals to be reached are:  761.6 Mton CO2 equivalent emissions from transport (including international aviation but excluding international shipping) at 2030;  290.6 Mton CO2 equivalent emissions from transport (including international aviation but excluding international shipping) at 2050;  92 Mton CO2 equivalent emissions from international shipping at 2050. EEA data show that in 2018 CO2 emissions from transport in EU27 (including international aviation but excluding international shipping) were still 32% above 1990 levels and that to meet the 60% greenhouse gas emission reduction target of the 2011 Transport White Paper they need to fall by two-thirds by 2050. Nonetheless, despite a decline between 2008 and 2013, GHG emissions from the EU-27 transport sector (including international aviation and excluding international shipping) have been increasing since 2014 in the context of a period of low oil prices. The trend in emissions is in line with transport activity of both passenger and freight, which plateaued between 2007 and 2013 and grew up again from 2014 onwards.

Book excerpt: The purpose of the evaluation is to provide a robust evidence-based assessment of the 2011 White Paper and the actions following from it since its adoption in 2011. It should examine the effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, relevance and EU added value of the 2011 White Paper in line with the Better Regulation Guidelines. The evaluation looks at the identified needs for transport policy, the objectives and goals set, the proposed initiatives, reached outcomes and their results, as well as the overall impact of the strategy since it was put in place.

Download or read book Moving Towards Low Carbon Mobility written by Moshe Givoni and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÔFor a thorough and thoughtful perspective on what it will take to de-carbonize cities of the future, this book is a must-read. Technology alone, we are told, will not create the post-carbon city. As important is coming to grips with a complex web of cultural, institutional, financial, and social factors that powerfully shape mobility choices, now and in the future. A balanced, holistic approach that reveals how the many elements of contemporary transport systems work together offers the best hope for achieving more sustainable, less carbon-intensive mobility futures.Õ Ð Robert Cervero, University of California, Berkeley, US ÔThis is not just another book about transport and climate change. It sensibly places transport within the much broader concept of mobility and explores all aspects of travel behaviour, of people and goods, and the infrastructure needs to serve these, leading to a balanced set of policy proposals. This volume, compiled by an internationally eminent team of researchers, is essential reading for all those wanting a balanced and objective analysis of this critical topic.Õ Ð Roger Vickerman, University of Kent, UK ÔA unique assemblage of papers by top international experts that together cover every aspect of the transport-mobility-environment relationship Ð todayÕs central issue for transport planners worldwide.Õ Ð Sir Peter Hall, University College London (UCL), UK The transport sector has been singularly unsuccessful in becoming low carbon and less resource intensive. This book takes an innovative and holistic social, cultural and behavioural perspective, as well as covering the more conventional economic and technological dimensions, to provide a more complete understanding of the mobility and transport system and its progress towards high carbon mobility. The book uses this platform to explore the means to achieve low carbon mobility through outlining alternative pathways, through an investigation of theories of change, and through alternative visions of the low carbon transport city. The bookÕs core message is that the complexity of the mobility and transport system should not encourage inaction, but strong and immediate action. In addition to implementing a wide range of policy measures, the book argues for a fundamental change in ÔthinkingÕ when it comes to transport policy, governance and analysis approaches, before low carbon mobility becomes a reality. Bringing together the latest thinking on transport, mobility and the environment, this book will appeal to researchers and students interested in sustainability issues and sustainable transport and transport related areas in particular, including policy makers as well as a more general professional audience.
