鉴于气候紧急状态，有必要对道路运输排放进行建模和预测，以实施更有效的气候政策。这篇论文通过量化发展中国家实现道路运输减排和空气质量改善的挑战、障碍和补救措施，填补了一个重要的研究空白。它有助于关于自上而下和自下而上协调碳排放和其他与交通相关的排放的方法的辩论。中国和印度被选为个案研究。利用各种官方统计数据和代理变量，我们对2009-2020年两国道路运输碳排放进行了系统的测算和比较。来自对自下而上方法的特定模式的详细估计的见解对于有针对性的政策和措施是有价值的。对道路运输碳排放的主要组成部分的分析表明，应采取推广电动汽车、减少运输需求、加快向低碳模式转变以及清洁电力等战略，以实现气候政策。
In view of the climate emergency, it is necessary to model and forecast road transport emissions for implementing more effective climate policy. This paper fills an important research gap by quantifying the challenges, barriers and remedies of achieving road transport emission reduction and air quality improvement in developing countries. It contributes to the debate on top-down and bottom-up approaches to reconcile carbon and other transport related emissions. China and India are chosen as case studies. Using various official statistics and proxy variables, we estimate and compare the road transport carbon emissions of the two countries systematically from 2009 to 2020. Insights from detailed mode-specific estimations of the bottom-up approach are valuable for targeted policies and measures. An analysis of the major components of road transport carbon emissions points to strategies of promoting electric vehicles, reducing transport demand, accelerating modal shift to low-carbon modes, and cleaner electricity to achieve climate policy.
