Transport accounts for 23% of global carbon dioxide emissions and
is one of the few industrial sectors where emissions are still
growing. There is a pressing need for transport to begin reducing
emissions to mitigate the impacts of climate change. The world is
already committed to some degree of climate change and there is an
additional need to adapt transport networks to cope with the future
climate. This book examines the relationship between transport and
climate change at a range of scales and from a series of different
perspectives. The complex post-Kyoto international situation is
covered before the discussion at national and then regional levels.
It is clear that every country needs strong national policy to
deliver the required greenhouse gas emission reductions. The UK has
been the first country to implement a legally binding agreement to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This book uses a range of UK
examples to provide a timely record of progress to date in meeting
the demands of the agreement in terms of the mitigation of climate
change. The importance of climate and socio-economic scenarios
forms the basis of a series of additional discussions on climate
change adaptation, underlining the need for a holistic framework to
tackle climate change in the transport sector.
