A quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions are generated in the transport sector, and climate policy has not been very successful so far in tackling these, especially those from road transport. And yet a few international examples of significant reductions in road emissions in a stable economic situation have been found. A new study now sheds light on how such success stories arose and what recommendations and opportunities for future policy can be derived from them. It was conducted by the Berlin-based climate research institute MCC (Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change) in cooperation with University of Oxford and University of Victoria.
