“…However, as noted by Dugan et al (2022), many previous studies on the assessment of low-carbon policies have mainly concentrated on the evaluation of single policy tools/measures. For example, Zhang et al (2018) investigated a policy package comprising only three policy measures (carbon pricing, modal shifts and energy efficiency) and took a global perspective to investigate how the transport sector can contribute to global climate change mitigation.…”

“…Although the study findings came up with very promising GHG emissions reduction potentials, they may not be representative of specific agents or regions. Consequently, researchers have identified the need for the investigation and development of policy packages that are balanced in order to tackle the many challenges that policymakers are facing during implementation (Axsen et al, 2020;Dugan et al, 2022).…”

It is projected that if no actions are taken to cut down the current rate of global warming, global temperatures will rise to irreversible levels between the years 2030 and 2050. Consequently, climate-induced risks to health, livelihoods, food and water supply/security, economic development, and human security will increase. However, although many efforts have been put in the developed nations to enhance sustainability in cities through the development of a Low-carbon transportation system, the situation is different in the developing nations. These countries are, for some reason, reluctant to adopt the concept of Low-carbon cities. For example, in Kenya, despite the evident climate threat associated with rising urban carbon emissions in the country, very little action to curb the emissions is observed both at individual and government levels. This is especially so in the transport sector. Therefore, it is critical that suitable low-carbon transition pathways are identified and adopted in the sector in order to cut down the emission levels. Although the transition to low-carbon transport is faced with a myriad of challenges, transitions bring about an enormousness of environmental and societal benefits through the development of environmentally sustainable systems. Policy instruments are governance tools that can be used to enhance the environmental sustainability of urban transport options. However, climate change targets cannot be realistically attained by a single policy instrument. Instead, research indicates the need for more integrative and strong policy packages that can stimulate low-carbon transitions. In view of this, there is a clear need for the envisioning of sustainable future cities and potential transition pathways towards the realisation of these futures, as it is considered advantageous to various disciplines. This study provides information that can be used to develop an integrated urban transportation system that is environmentally sustainable and which efficiently incorporates all modes of transport; based on the theory of transitional management

“…Festzuhalten ist, dass auf eine soziale Ausgewogenheit bei der Implementation der oben vorgestellten verkehrspolitischen Maßnahmen zu achten ist, da ja vor allem durch monetäre Maßnahmen untere Einkommensschichten mehr belastet werden (Dugan et al, 2022) Generell ist festzuhalten, dass strukturelle Maßnahmen im Bereich Verkehr, seien es Veränderungen in den Zuständigkeiten von Gebietskörperschaften, Änderungen in den Umsetzungsprozessen von Infrastrukturvorhaben, den Bau von Infrastrukturen, die Änderungen von Oberzielen (z. B. Klimaschutz anstatt der Befriedigung der scheinbar unlimitierten Nachfrage an motorisierter individueller Mobilität), die Änderungen von Gesetzen etc.…”

ZusammenfassungDie Pkw-Nutzung, gemessen in durchschnittlicher zurückgelegter Tagesentfernungen, sowie der Motorisierungsgrad (Pkw/1000 Einwohner_innen) nehmen in ruralen und suburbanen Regionen weiter zu. Trendverlangsamungen bzw. Trendumkehren sind nur in einigen Landeshauptstädten feststellbar.

(hohe Übereinstimmung, starke Literaturbasis)Technische, die Effizienz erhöhende Maßnahmen, wie zum Beispiel der Umstieg auf E-Mobilität oder alternative Treibstoffe, reichen nicht aus, um die Klimaziele im Verkehrssektor zu erreichen. (hohe Übereinstimmung, starke Literaturbasis)Das Verhalten der Verkehrsteilnehmer_innen wird maßgeblich von den bereitgestellten Strukturen (Infrastrukturen, ordnungspolitischen und monetären Strukturen) beeinflusst. (hohe Übereinstimmung, starke Literaturbasis)Das Verkehrsverhalten beeinflussende Maßnahmen, wie die Einführung von Kostenwahrheit für alle Verkehrsträger, Infrastrukturumgestaltung für den Umweltverbund zulasten des Autoverkehrs, Tempolimits, flächendeckende Parkraumbewirtschaftung etc., sind für eine flächendeckende Trendumkehr bezüglich Treibhausgasemissionen notwendig. (hohe Übereinstimmung, starke Literaturbasis)Eine zielgerichtete Planung, Beschluss, Umsetzung und Monitoring nachweislich effizienzgeprüfter Maßnahmen auf allen Verwaltungsebene (EU, Bund, Länder und Gemeinden) ist Voraussetzung für eine Dekarbonisierung der Mobilität.

“…The last point of view is that rural logistics development and low‐carbon transformation are not completely mutually exclusive. It is essential to use the right methods at the right time to transform rural logistics enterprises into low‐carbon ones (Dugan et al, 2022). In the context of the current global initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, most scholars agree with the second and third views.…”

Towards low‐carbon transition: Coordinating development and decarbonisation in rural logistics

Over the past decade, there is a growing global call for low carbon development. However, there is no adequate low‐carbon policies to address the trade‐off between rural logistics development and low‐carbon goals. Jiangsu is one of the pilot sites for most of China's policy reforms and has the potential to develop a low carbon transformation of rural logistics. Therefore, we provide an in‐depth analysis of the above trade‐offs from an industrial perspective by integrating the key features of rural logistics into a unified framework and modelling a rural logistics system dynamic model using rural logistics in Jiangsu as a case study. We compare the development trend of Jiangsu's rural logistics industry from 2021 to 2030 under the traditional development model, the green image policy, the fixed carbon policy and the fixed carbon tax rebate policy. The findings show that, first, in the absence of policy intervention, rural logistics in Jiangsu will not actively adopt any low‐carbon behaviour, which will lead to an inevitable rise in CO2. Second, the simulation results in fixed carbon policy show that the policies that impose excessive burdens on rural logistics are invalid rural logistics that need enough funds to develop their own supply capacity and carbon abatement capacity. Third, the green image policy is more advantageous in addressing the trade‐offs between rural logistics development and the low‐carbon transition, which not only avoids burdening rural logistics but also improves the supply capacity of rural logistics by increasing the demand for rural logistics. Finally, the government can implement the green image policy in the early stage and then introduce the carbon tax rebate policy in the middle stage to improve and increase the capacity of the rural logistics sector to embrace low carbon transition, which can help implement subsequently implement the carbon tax rebate policy.
