Book excerpt: This report reviews the progress OECD and ECMT countries have made in reducing transport sector CO2 emissions and makes recommendations for the focus of future policies. It analyses over 400 abatement measures introduced or under development. Despite significant efforts on the part of some countries, transport CO2 emissions have increased steadily over the last ten years. Slowing the growth of these emissions will require more government action and an increasingly pro-active role from transport sector industries. The report identifies the policies most likely to be effective and underlines the importance of energy efficiency improvements for cost effective action on global warming.
