| description |
This study examines the factors
responsible for the growth of transport sector carbon
dioxide emissions in 20 Latin American and Caribbean
countries during 1980-2005 by decomposing the emissions
growth into components associated with changes in fuel mix,
modal shift, and economic growth, as well as changes in
emission coefficients and transportation energy intensity.
The key finding of the study is that economic growth and the
changes in transportation energy intensity are the main
factors driving transport sector carbon dioxide emissions
growth in the countries considered. The results imply that
fiscal policy instruments - such as subsidies to clean fuels
and clean vehicles - would be more effective in reducing
emissions in countries where the economic activity effect is
the primary driver for transport sector carbon dioxide
emissions growth. By contrast, regulatory policy instruments
- such as vehicle efficiency standards and vehicle occupancy
standards - would be more effective in countries where the
transportation energy intensity effect is the main driver of
carbon dioxide emissions growth. Both fiscal and regulatory
policy instruments would be useful in countries where both
economic activity and transportation energy intensity
effects are responsible for driving transport sector carbon
dioxide emissions growth. |
