Climate Change

This report explores future U.S. transportation scenarios to evaluate how the U.S. can reduce oil consumption and cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through improvements in transportation technology and reductions in the amount Americans drive.

The EMBARQ Network has supported the development of two pilot urban transport NAMAs, creating precedent for the NAMA format, content and monitoring, and the reporting and verification mechanism.

As demand for transportation continues to rise at unprecedented rates, the need to compare alternative transport policies and their impacts on both CO2 emissions and local air pollution is becoming more and more critical.
