A tax on fuel combined with tax exemptions or subsidies for fuel-efficient vehicles is implemented in many countries to fulfill the Paris agreement and to curb mileage-related externalities from road traffic. The present study shows that a tax on fuel should be combined with heavier taxation of...

Transport accounts for nearly a quarter of carbon dioxide emissions from fuel combustion. The price attached to these emissions is critical to climate policies and emissions mitigation efforts in the sector. As the impact of emissions on climate does not depend on where CO2 is released, the...

Transport is a key infrastructure sector that acts as a stimulus to economic growth and is an important element of strategies for poverty reduction, regional and national development, and the environmental objective of limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Growing energy use by the transport...

The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) commits California to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The transportation sector is the top GHG emitter in California, contributing roughly 40 percent of all California emissions. Poor fuel efficiency...

In 2006, the Stern Review predicted dire consequences for the world's economy unless atmospheric greenhouse gases, responsible for climate change, are prevented from reaching dangerous levels. The Review identified transport as one of the fastest growing sources of global emissions and the motor...

Urban transportation is viewed as the second leading source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The growing number of vehicles and road infrastructure-based supply in Indian cities is viewed as the essential driver of climate change and relevant consequences affecting the sustainability of...
