Resource detail

This study aims to recommend long-term action plans to reduce CO2 emissions from the transport sector in each ASEAN country and the ASEAN as a whole, with the cooperation of researchers and research institutes in the ASEAN and international and other organizations with outstanding experience in the transport and environment sector, such as Clean Air Asia. We have implemented this study project with three major objectives. The first objective was to conduct a study with a long-term perspective. The second objective was to establish a method to build plans with such a long-term perspective. The third objective was to consider features of the ASEAN. In terms of features, report has focused on two points. The first features are related to the transport system. Such features are represented by the necessity of a deeper insight to para-transit systems which are common in developing countries and by the importance of marine transport, that is, the existence of regions and countries separated by the ocean. The second features are related to the perspective as a community. It can be said that the current ASEAN is a community in which each member country is highly independent unlike Europe which is also a community. This study eventually focuses on overall policies as a community, in which each member country’s plans are incorporated and harmonized.
