Building the Capacity of Chile’s Transportation Sector for Sustainable Development Through the CDM Jodi Browne International Institute for Sustainable Development Transport & Climate Change Transport = 25% of worldwide CO2 The rate of increase of CO2 emissions from transport is much higher in developing countries than developed Developing country growth = 3.2% per year countries. Developed country growth = 1% per year (World Energy Outlook, 2001) Transport & CDM Of the 80 projects currently in the CDM pipeline only 5 are transportation…of those, none address travel demand CDM represents a crucial opportunity to develop a sustainable transportation sector e.g. Chile - increased funding flows - enhanced capacity - expanded technology Transport & CDM Project: Chile Project Partners: Int’l Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP), US Cambio Climatico & Desarollo (CC&D), Chile Government of Chile, CGTS Project Aims: Exploration: potential to reduce GHGs and promote transportation CDM projects in Chile Assistance: technical input to Chile in reduction of GHG emissions and promotion of potential CDM projects, specifically in the transportation sector Replication: help establish precedent for assessing transportation CDM projects Project Goals Examine and address methodological hurdles to CDM projects in the Transport Sector Work with relevant gov’t departments to share our learnings and build capacity to develop own projects Why Chile? Transport challenges Commitment to CDM Strong modeling capacity Possible CDM projects currently being examined… 1) Area 10: Technology switch of buses within downtown area of Santiago 2) Bike Infrastructure: Developing bike lanes, storage, facilities 3) Location Efficiency: Concentrating mixed-use developments around metro stations Area 10: Technology switching Santiago: new design for public transport Segregated routes for articulated buses (Min EURO3) Feeding areas for buses of lower capacity (progressive switch from EURO1,2,3) Exploring potential for CDM to implement hybrid dieselelectric buses in the feeding areas Demonstration: Area 10 (downtown core = 34 buses) Area 10 Bicycle Infrastructure Increase non-motorized trips in Santiago Introduction of further bicycle infrastructure (lanes) Measure the emissions reductions from increased travel by bikes on a specific route (modeling, observation, etc.) Quantify those reductions and develop as a CDM project Location Efficiency Urban form can: Reduce number of motorized trips Increase share of non-motorized trips Reduce travel distances, increase vehicle occupancy rates Through: DENSITY – i.e. lot size DIVERSITY – mix of land uses & proximity DESIGN – street layout, block design, parking Location Efficiency Densification or “location efficient” development around metro stations… - - - Identify specific real estate development opportunities Quantify the travel behavior impacts of those developments Estimate the net impacts on transportation greenhouse gas emissions of the prospective developments Determine how to fit this within the CDM. Supporting existent work looking at efficient dev’t (MINVU) or “neighborhood efficiency” Building capacity Canada’s goal: build capacity to respond to CC Our project takes a case study approach & works with: Santiago Transport Coordination Committee (CGTS) National Environmental Commission (CONAMA) Ministry of Public Works, Transport & Telecom. (MINVU) InterMinisterial Transportation Planning Office (SECTRA) National Energy Commission (CNE) Building methodologies, identifying opportunities, conducting hands-on analysis and modeling Also workshops planned for spring 2004 Upcoming Events UNFCCC Side Event: Wed, 10 Dec 1:00 p.m.- 3:00 p.m. “Getting there: tackling transport emissions” Multi-stakeholder, high-level event on technical and lifestyle fixes as options for reversing the transport emissions trend. Moderated by Simon Upton. ****************************************************************************** “CDM and Transportation: Challenges and Opportunities” Santiago, Chile, Sept 2004 Int’l workshop on Transport & CDM issues & presentation of the conclusions of the IISD/CCAP/CC&D work Thank you!
