What to do?
The transport sector is often said to be the major climate challenge, but is that fair? An efficient transport system is key to global development and growth, and the overall climate impact on products across the globe is only a few percent.
However, the sector must be handled in a structured way:
- The basic planning framework must be appropriate
- The overall transport structure must be evaluated in a long-term perspective and relevant adjustments must be planned for
- Climate-effective modes of transport for the future must be considered and assessed
- A strategic development plan must be outlined
