“…While this paper focuses on the ability of an integrated policy approach to overcome barriers, it is acknowledged that not only the policies themselves (content) are an important element in this equation, but also the policy environment (context) [42]. This context includes not only socio-economic, but also political aspects, taking into account the institutional structures of countries.…”

Considerable efficiency gains can be made costeffectively to set the transport sector on a sustainable development pathway. They can be achieved through already available technologies and practices, which will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly, but also generate social, environmental and economic co-benefits. However, progress in the take-up of low-carbon mobility measures substantially lags behind the potential. A number of barriers contribute to this lack of uptake. This paper explores those barriers by focusing on vehicle fuel efficiency in particular, but will also touch on the wider policy framework to improve the efficiency of the transport sector and reduce emissions. The paper suggests that a combination of fuel pricing, differentiated vehicle taxation, vehicle standards and the provision of modal choice are necessary to minimise rebound effects and significantly curb transport sector greenhouse gas emissions at low-or even negative cost.

While some analyses on policy integration has been carried out— for example, the linkages between policy packaging—cobenefits, and coalitions have not yet been assessed for climate change mitigation strategies in a specific sector.…”

“…Policy integration and coalition building : The policy environment, or context in which decisions are made, is as important as the combination of policy decisions and infrastructure investments that make up a low‐carbon transport strategy . This policy environment includes socioeconomic and political aspects of the institutional structures of countries.…”

This paper outlines the key elements of a low‐carbon stabilization pathway for land transport, focusing on the potential of key policy measures at the local and national level, opportunities for synergies of sustainable development and climate change objectives, and governance and institutional issues affecting the implementation of measures. It combines several approaches to provide an integrated view on the decarbonization of the transport sector based on recent literature. It will assess the quantitative basis potential climate change mitigation pathways and will then look into policy and institutional aspects that relate to the feasibility of these pathways. This combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis to measure the potential, options, and feasibility of climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector aims to synthesize recent papers on the subject and draw conclusions for future research.

“…Policy interventions in the transport sector are accompanied by risks and uncertainties, which become visible in the form of unintended effects [2]. These effects can lead to a deviation from the initial policy objective or even be counter-intentional [3]. Single policies or entire policy packages are often assessed using different methods aiming at a quantification of effects as well as the detection of undesired outcomes.…”

“…Single policies or entire policy packages are often assessed using different methods aiming at a quantification of effects as well as the detection of undesired outcomes. The knowledge of potential impacts is essential to take informed policy actions [3]. There are a number of studies in the literature that assessed the impact of transport policies.…”
