Investigating Life Cycle Carbon Emission Impact of Road Investments - Paperback

by Asian Decelopment Bank (Author)

This report offers a framework and toolkit to help countries in Asia and the Pacific measure carbon emissions from road sector investments and balance soaring demand for mobility with a shift towards decarbonization goals.

The report highlights how Asia has the fastest-rising transport emissions and outlines ways practitioners can use the toolkit to analyze the carbon impact of investments and find alternatives that align with international targets. It shows how the toolkit integrates with the Highway Development and Management System and can help countries "avoid" travel through demand management, "shift" toward low-carbon alternatives, and "improve" policies that drive sustainable regional transportation.
