Climate for Change: Global warming & the automobile

A policy paper from the Alliance Internationale de Tourisme and the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile


If CO2 emissions from passenger cars are to be reduced, there must be an effective strategy to promote fuel efficiency and to reduce car dependency. This will require policies that encourage the development of new vehicle and fuel technologies, persuade the consumer to purchase fuel economic vehicles and offer a greater choice of alternative transport options. It is vital to recognise that global warming is a shared problem, and must be dealt with in partnership. All sectors of transport have a role to play, including the regulatory and planning authorities whose decisions can have as great an impact on the environment as any actions by vehicle producers or users.

Representing some 100 million motorists worldwide, the AIT & FIA recognise the responsibility of all users of passenger cars to contribute to achieving the emissions reductions decided at the Kyoto Conference. Below, we set out a framework for achieving such reductions.
