Adaptation Strategies for Low Carbon Transport by 2050
Publication: Traffic and Transportation Studies 2010
Abstract
Today, numerous works conclude that transport seems to be completely coupled to economic growth. Therefore, as a direct consequence of economic development, transport sits today as one of the major final energy consumers and one of the most important sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Furthermore, in the absence of major technological change, this unsustainable situation will most undoubtedly get worse in the future. In this paper we analyze what different types of public policies aiming at sharp reductions in GHE emissions imply on passenger transport and how they can be linked to new behavior patterns affecting consumption and in fine freight transport. For this, we use the transport issues in the long term (TILT) model's core microeconomic choice model. In this manner, we explain the interest of a time management approach to adaptation strategies for GHE reductions.
