  1. Transport and Climate Change: Priorities for World Bank-GEF Projects Todd M. Johnson World Bank March 31, 2003

  2. Transport Sector in Developing Countries • Transport is a major source of GHGs and is projected to increase (UNFCCC) • GEF Operational Program on Transport (OP11) established to address this sector

  3. Urban Transport & Climate Change Strategy for World Bank/GEF • World Bank Urban Transport Strategy • GEF OP11 Priorities • Overlap & Synergies • Recommended priorities for urban transport & climate change for World Bank/GEF projects

  4. GEF Operational Program #11:Original Scope • Modal shifts to more efficient and less polluting forms of public and freight transport • Traffic management and avoidance • Increased use of cleaner fuels • Non-motorized transport • Low or no emission technologies • Fuel cell or battery operated 2- and 3 wheelers • Hydrogen powered fuel cell or battery operated vehicles • Internal combustion engine – electric hybrid buses • Converting biomass feedstock to liquid fuels

  5. Table 3. Overlap Between the Bank’s UTS and Initial OP11 Priorities Four Key Elements of World Bank UTS Review (i) Structural land-use changes (ii) Improved operational efficiency of transport modes (iii) Better focusing of pro-poor interventions (iv) PIF Reforms Priorities of the GEF OP11 (i) Modal shifts     (ii) NMT     (iii) Fuel-cell or battery-operated 2- or 3-wheel vehicles     (iv) Hydrogen- powered fuel cells or battery-operated public or freight vehicles     (v) ICE-electric hybrid vehicles     (vi) Advanced biofuels     Key: Minimal. overlap - ; Some overlap - ; Maximum overlap - .

  7. Climate Change Benefits of Public TransportationImpact of an Additional Bus (IEA – 2002) • Standard bus: 65% reduction in fuel use/CO2 • Euro II clean bus: 65-70% reduction in fuel use/CO2 • Euro IV clean bus: 65-70% reduction in fuel use/CO2 • Zero-emissions bus: 70% reduction in fuel use/CO2 Most of the GHG reduction benefit is achieved by moving to buses – the technology employed plays a minor role from a GHG perspective.

  8. Preserve and Expand NMT Options • Motorized transport development and safety concerns often reduce existing NMT usage • Low capital investment requirements make bike and pedestrian transport accessible to low income groups • NMT has a negative image in many countries

  9. Environmental Impacts • Transport (and other small sources) account for a disproportionately higher share of local air pollution impacts compared to total emissions • Local damages usually much greater than global damages in developing countries

  10. WB/GEF Transport Projects • Marikina Bikeways, Manila • Mexico City Air Quality • Lima Urban Transport • Santiago Urban Transport

  11. Marikina Bikeways Project, Manila • Design and operate a system of bike trails and designated lanes for NMT • Use NMT to connect residential communities with schools, employment centers, the new metropolitan train station, and other public transport terminals • Avoid the “crowding-out” of NMT modes

  12. Transport Corridors in Mexico City • Modelled after successful experiences in other Latin American cities • Development of busway corridors that support metro-bus integration and improve the environmental performance, economic efficiency, and image of public transport

  13. Lima and Santiago Projects • Direct or indirect support for segregated busways • Bikeway promotion • Transport demand management measures • Transport and urban planning

  14. Summary of Emerging WB Priorities for OP11 • Cost-effective public transport • Non-motorized transport • Transport and Land-use Planning • Transport Demand Management • Other: regulations and standards; technology options. • Targeted research on transport and climate change
