dc.description.abstractCounting carbon in transport projects depends on who is counting. The agents might be third-party donors who estimate the CO2 implications of transport-related projects; the mayors, governors, or prime ministers who guide transport strategy and investments; the Transport Office or Air Pollution Office tasked with reducing local emissions; or the world carbon community that monitor carbon reductions that can be sold or traded.
