The International Transport Forum The International Transport Forum is an intergovernmental organisation with 62 member countries. It acts as a think tank for transport policy and organises the Annual Summit of transport ministers. ITF is the only global body that covers all transport modes. The ITF is politically autonomous and administratively integrated with the OECD. The ITF works for transport policies that improve peoples’ lives. Our mission is to foster a deeper understanding of the role of transport in economic growth, environmental sustainability and social inclusion and to raise the public profile of transport policy. The ITF organises global dialogue for better transport. We act as a platform for discussion and pre- negotiation of policy issues across all transport modes. We analyse trends, share knowledge and promote exchange among transport decision-makers and civil society. The ITF’s Annual Summit is the world’s largest gathering of transport ministers and the leading global platform for dialogue on transport policy.

This work is part of the ITF Decarbonising Transport Initiative (DTI), a key instrument developed by the ITF to help governments and industry to translate climate ambitions into actions. The initiative brings together a partnership that extends far beyond the ITF’s member countries. Its work: tracks progress to evaluate how current mitigation measures contribute to reaching objectives for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transport develops in-depth sectoral and focus studies to identify effective policies in specific modes (e.g. road transport) and thematic areas (e.g. cities) brings policies together in a catalogue of effective measures, to support countries to develop their GHG emission mitigation strategy in transport supports the policy dialogue, leveraging on extensive engagement with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including the ITF’s designation as a focal point for transport of the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action (MP-GCA). Funding for this work was kindly provided by Nordic Energy Research. Nordic Energy Research (NER) is a regional platform for co-operative energy research and policy development under the auspices of Nordic Council of Ministers. NER is based in Oslo, together with its sister organisations Nordforsk and Nordic Innovation. Nordic co-operation in energy research started in 1975, leading to common research funding since 1985 and the establishment of NER as an institution under the Nordic Council of Ministers in 1999. The governance structure of NER is closely connected to both the national governments of the five Nordic countries as well as the intergovernmental Nordic system. NER manages numerous projects and facilitates Ministerial working groups that provide input to energy technology policy making in the region. NER funds research that is of shared Nordic interest and that supports the region’s ambition to reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, and to create new growth industries based on green technology. It does so by expanding knowledge on sustainable energy and contributing to the development of new and competitive energy solutions. NER has been supporting research at the intersection of transport, energy and environment since its inception. In particular, NER funded research on electro-fuels, biofuels, fuel cells and electric transport. Projects funded by NER cover various modes of transport, including aviation, heavy freight, maritime transport, public transport and personal electric vehicles.

    NATIONAL REPORT BY THE EUROPEAN UNION MARCH 2020 Enhanced Black Carbon and Methane Emissions Reductions Arctic Council Framework for Action National report by the European Union 2020 1 Introduction To overcome the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation the European Commission announced the European Green Deal1 in December 2019. This communication outlines a roadmap to transform EU, reaching the target of no net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, decoupling economic growth to resource use, enhancing the efficient use of resources, moving to a clean and circular economy and , a zero pollution ambition, including updates to EU regulation on air quality. The actions that are necessary to reach for the goals include investments in environmental-friendly technologies, decarbonisation of the energy sector, development of a cleaner private and public transport, and an increased energy efficiency in buildings. 2 Black carbon emissions and future projections 2.1 Black Carbon emissions have been reduced by almost 40 % since 2000. Mayor reductions occurred in the road transport sector. where emission levels decreased by almost 60%; a sensible reduction occurred in the off-road sector where 2017 emissions are less than half of 2000 ones. A strong contribution to BC emission in the EU27+UK comes from the residential sector (C_OtherStationaryComb in the graph) where no significant emission reduction occurred from 2000; in 2017 emissions from this sector accounted for 38 % of the total. 2.2 Figure 1 provide a visual representation of Black Carbon emission trend for the EU27+UK since 2000 aggregated at GNFR level. Projected emissions are not provided due to lack of reporting from some EU Member States which make not relevant the creation of an aggregated projected emission level for the EU27+UK.

  • The Multi-State Maritime Transportation System Risk Assessment and Safety Analysis
    sustainability Article The Multi-State Maritime Transportation System Risk Assessment and Safety Analysis Siqi Wang , Jingbo Yin * and Rafi Ullah Khan School of Naval Architecture, Ocean & Civil Engineering, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai 200240, China; [email protected] (S.W.); [email protected] (R.U.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 8 June 2020; Accepted: 13 July 2020; Published: 16 July 2020 Abstract: Maritime transportation has a pivotal role in the foreign trade and hence, the world’s economic growth. It augments the realization of “Maritime Silk Road” strategy. However, the catastrophic nature of the maritime accidents has posed a serious threat to life, property, and environment. Maritime transportation safety is a complex system and is prone to human, equipment, and environment-based risks. In the existing literature, the risk assessment studies aimed at the analysis of maritime traffic safety usually consider the state of system as two ultimate states—one is the normal state and the other is the complete failure state. In contrast to the conventional approaches, this study incorporates a multistate criterion for system state giving consideration to the near or partial failures also. A Markov Chain-based methodology was adopted to determine the variations in state system and define the instant at which a low probability incident transforms into a high-risk intolerable event. The analysis imparts critical time nodes that could be utilized to reduce the risk and evade accidents. This study holds practical vitality for the concerned departments to circumvent the potential dangers and devise systematic preemptive procedures before the accident takes place. The results of this study could be employed to augment safety and sustainability of maritime traffic and decrease the associated pollution.

This report calls on the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to take the lead in measuring and monitoring the performance and the Federal Role of the MTS, to inform public and private decision making about initiatives for improvements. In particular, the study committee recommends that DOT develop The Marine Transportation System and the Federal Role The Marine Transportation reports on the condition and performance of the MTS and seek a mandate from Congress to produce regular reports similar to those for the nation’s highway Measuring Performance, and transit systems.
