Green Growth and Transport

Transport figures prominently on green growth agendas. This section of the report briefly examines policies to support electric vehicles, vehicle replacement schemes and high speed rail and reviews the political economy of introducing congestion charges from experience to date with charging systems around the world. It ends with a review of indicators developed for the assessment of transport investments and policies. Assessment methodology is relatively mature in this sector and the tools developed to support transport sector decision‐making in some countries provide a good basis for the assessment of green growth policies across the economy.
