Urban-Mobility_Solutions against climate change AFD

This publication from AFD and CODATU presents the low-carbon urban mobility solutions that meet both local and climate issues.

This publication from AFD and CODATU presents the low-carbon urban mobility solutions that meet both local and climate issues. Besides its impact in reducing GHG emissions, the transformation of urban transport systems responds to local needs. The idea is to ensure  livable” cities despite their very fast development and the growing flow of cars and motorbikes. The challenge is thus to limit the congestion of road infrastructure, which paralyses cities and reduces their economic growth potential; to limit air pollution and to improve road safety. Solutions do exist to resolve these local problems while fighting climate change. The document aims at presenting the different levers for actions and the tools that can be used by local and national decision makers. It underlines the challenges of the coordination of stakeholders, the consistency of policies, the integration of transport modes and the implementation of long-term funding models.
