- 1. DARIO HIDALGO, DIRECTOR RESEARCH AND PRACTICE, EMBARQ, WORLD RESOURCES INSTITUTE URBAN TRANSPORT AND CLIMATE CHANGE Not just that…
- 2. CONGESTION ROAD SAFETY CLIMATE CHANGE PUBLIC HEALTH 2-5% cost of GDP through traffic congestion Transport accounts for one-quarter of global CO2 emissions Traffic fatalities lead to 1.2 million deaths every year and many more injuries Physical inactivity causes 1 in 10 deaths worldwide, on par with smoking

- 6. Can we improve the quality of life globally and reduce GHG emissions?
- 7. YES! “The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
- 8. Compact, Connected, Coordinated Cities Better Growth Better Climate New Climate Economy Report http://newclimateeconomy.report/cities/
- 9. Improved Access, Specially for the Poor Reduced Fatalities, Injuries, Illness Achieving the CO2 reduction targets Technology Improvements Public Transport Non-motorized Transport Urban development and transport integration AVOID SHIFT IMPROVE THREE PRONGED APPROACH
- 10. Compact, Connected, Coordinated Cities http://newclimateeconomy.report/cities/
- 12. We could even travel further (on average), but 20-30% less than business as usual projection (consistent with ETP-IEA) Industrialized countries need reductions in VKT Emerging countries need to curb current VKT pathway Some findings from http://globalcalculator.org/
- 13. Avoid, Shift, Improve combined measures Cooper, Lefevre, Pestiaux, GHG Emissions from the Transport Sector Using Multi-Sectoral Tool, TRB Annual Meeting, 2015
- 14. Myths busted: Switching coal to gas does not work: we need to decarbonise global electricity generation to near zero gCO2e/kWh by 2050 – Electrify 10% Car fleet by 2050 We cannot rely on running out of fossil fuel. The world has enough fossil fuel resources to put the world at risk of a global mean temperature of over 6°C by 2100 We also cannot rely on futuristic technologies to suck carbon out of the atmosphere. At best 10% savings Curbing population to the UN’s lower projected estimate (8 billion) would only save around 10% Some findings from http://globalcalculator.org/

Editor's Notes
- Unsustainable transport has major consequences around the world: congestion, climate change, road fatalities and injuries, and public health. Large, global trends are driving and amplifying the consequences of unsustainable transport: urbanization coupled with increased car ownership leading to increasing energy consumption in the transport sector, more kilometers driven, continuing road-centric investment that is unsustainable for public health, safety, and the environment.

- 200+ cities have enacted Low Emission Zones since 2003, becoming part of the mainstream in Europe 188 cities with metro systems since the first in 1863 in London, Great Britain 1000+ cities with carsharing programs since the first in Lucerne & Zurich, Switzerland in 1987, have become mainstream in the EU and North America Nearly 500 cities with bikesharing programs since the first in Rennes, France in 1998; beginning to mainstream in Europe 213 carfree zones in Europe since the first in Rotterdam, Netherlands in 1953 250+ cities with integrated fare systems since the first in Zurich, Switzerland in 1989
- Countries: Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, Austria and UK.
- eight more Chinese cities to adopt this policy in the future (China Association of Automobile Manufacture )
- Dec 2013, 189 cities, Among the 15 metro system that were open after 2010, 8 are in China. There are two more Chinese cities that open metro systems in 2013– Zhengzhou (25.4) and Harbin (17.5) Shanghai runs the world’s longest metro 533km, followed by Beijing
- Initial support from Shell Foundation created Embarq whithin WRI and Centro de Transporte Sustentable whithin CEIBA (a local NGO) in 2003. In 2006 CTS was created as a separate NGO, which has grown steadily and opened several areas of work. Success in the initial BRT engagement in Mexico City, which opened in 2005 created a momentum for expansion in the city and application in other cities (with national support).
