Formulation of a national environmentally sustainable transport strategy for the Phillipines

Final report
UNCRD
May 2011

The overall objective of this endeavor is to develop and mainstream EST strategies that are sensitive to future development scenarios. Strategies should be developed considering future development scenarios such as vehicle growth, level of urbanization, population density, and economic growth. The overall goal of the strategy may be seen in the following:

• Reduction of the annual growth rate of energy consumption and associated green house gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions from the transport sector especially in urban areas of the country;
• Enhance sustainable mobility through the development of a viable market for environmentally sustainable transport (EST) goods and services, which involves, among others, the promotion of transportation systems of low carbon intensity and shift towards the use of more sustainable transport modes.

The formulation of the national strategy is primarily intended for the identification of priority challenges in the context of EST that would need to be addressed through the formulation of strategies. These strategies will have specific targets, incorporate multi-sector commitments, and recommend measures for the promotion of EST in Philippines.
