Greening Roads for a Low-Carbon Future - What Works and What to Avoid

This webinar, held last 24 October, explored how transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Key topics include integrating EV charging infrastructure, combining it with renewable energy, and providing economic incentives for low-emission vehicles. It also presented a framework to avoid unsustainable projects, ensuring transport investments support a greener future.

Measuring Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Road Transport

Sufficient and accurate data on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and the impacts of global transport policies, measures and projects are needed to effectively mitigate climate change. Presently, little information on these exists, thus hampering efforts in reducing CO2 emissions.

In response to this need, the Asian Development Bank offers specific ways in counting carbon emissions or “carbs” so that policies and measures to reduce them can be focused, holistic and effective.
