State of Knowledge Final Report on Low Carbon Transport
The research explores the capacity to implement low carbon, high volume transport among a cohort of countries in Africa and South Asia
Abstract
The research documented in this Report explores the current state of knowledge of, interest in, and capacity to implement low carbon, high volume transport (LC-HVT) among study participants in a cohort of countries in Africa and South Asia. This project report thus uses primary research to provide a review of the challenges and barriers, interest and knowledge gaps within the cohort relating to the implementation of particular low carbon transport measures, supported by a literature review and relevant case studies. A further outcome of the project is to provide recommendations to the Department for International Development of the United Kingdom (DFID) on future research directions for Part 2 of the Applied Research Programme into High Volume Transport. There are many studies that demonstrate the similarity of transport issues across low income countries with a similar climate DIFD includes 32 priority countries in Africa and Asia, and has China, India and South Africa as development partners. The chosen cohort 9 countries includes two of these development partners and lessons that can be learnt from them, where applicable, are highlighted in this report.
This is an output of the High Volume Transport Applied Research Programme
