Transport Emissions: the Climate Challenge
Results from IP QUANTIFY and SSA ATTICA
Stakeholder Meeting
Brussels (BE), 24 June 2010, 11:00 - 18:00
The Stakeholder meeting will provide an overview of the current
research results on the impact of transport emissions in a comprehensible and
accessible way. The key questions adress how transport emissions harm climate,
how to account for it and what the possible options are. The answers
are based on the European research projects
QUANTIFY and ATTICA. The meeting details are given
below.
Transport emissions are on the increase - more than in any other industrial sector.
They affect global CO2 emissions and they contain other climate-relevant substances,
thus impacting atmospheric composition and climate. In light of the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto Protocol, and possible
follow-up Protocols, this rate of increase poses a severe problem when trying to
achieve emission reduction targets.
The Integrated Project QUANTIFY (2005-2010),
funded by the EC within the 6th framework programme studied and quantified the impact
of transport on the composition of the atmosphere and on climate. From 2006 to 2010,
QUANTIFY was complemented by the Specific Support Action (SSA) ATTICA.
The four ATTICA reports provide coherent
state-of-the-art assessments of the impact of transport emissions on climate change
and ozone depletion. Three reports cover the emissions of aviation, shipping, and
land transport. The fourth report provides metrics to quantify and objectively
compare the effects of transport emissions.
