Learning Curves: Reducing Carbon Emissions from Transport Projects
Asian Development Bank | December 2010
Abstract
This evaluation knowledge brief provides new tools to measure how different transport projects funded by ADB affect carbon emissions and offers suggestions to reduce ADB’s transportation sector carbon footprint. The tools developed through this study can be used in conjunction with other economic analysis tools that take into account costs and benefits of specific types of transport services and their development impacts
