There is a clear connection between the increase of car use, and non-communicable diseases related to obesity. City design must encourage walking, cycling, and other forms of “active” transport through features such as bus lanes, bike lanes, and pedestrian-centered streetscape improvements as part of an overall city transport strategy. 3.6.2. Road Transport Road transport in Myanmar currently depends on fossil fuels. Consistent with the commitment of developed and developing counties to end the use of fossil fuel vehicles by 2035 or earlier, Myanmar is interested in introducing EVs for both personal use and (MRT). Allied to this would be a slow phase-out of old, highly inefficient vehicles. Myanmar has already phased-out over 200,000 old, highly inefficient vehicles74.

The Government can support implementation on national, regional or local issues using tools we call national direction. These support local planning and can take the form of national policy statements, national environmental standards, national planning standards and regulations. We have a national policy statement on urban development that supports well-functioning urban environments and includes objectives for climate mitigation and adaptation. Long-term strategy We will: ► integrate climate objectives into the reformed planning legislation with the necessary levers to drive down emissions.

Aotearoa will ratify this in 2022 and apply new measures to reduce ship emissions. We have agreed to prepare a national action plan to reduce maritime emissions, and to research ways to speed the uptake of alternative low- and zero-carbon fuels for shipping ► ensuring planning helps to reduce car dependency by leveraging opportunities associated with resource management reform and the Urban Growth Agenda. However, broader and deeper changes are needed to quickly shift the transport system to a zero-emissions pathway. Long-term strategy We will support central and local government, communities and businesses to work together to reduce emissions and build a healthy, safe and accessible transport system. We will also take opportunities to improve the wellbeing of New Zealanders.

This means that energy and resource efficiency are high and a circular economy underpins low-emission, sustainable production and consumption. As a result of technological advances, the transport sector is using zero- and low-emission solutions for passenger cars, public transport and heavy goods vehicles. Transport needs have been reduced by developing more compact cities and communities and new digital communication solutions. Passenger and freight transport has been made more effective. Sound land-use planning, greater use of public transport, cycling and walking and new, innovative transport solutions have all played a part in this. There have been similar developments in the shipping and maritime transport sector. Emissions from goods and products supplied by Norwegian industry are low.

• Increase awareness among the general public regarding benefits associated with using mass transportation. Yet to be implemented Short termSectoral strategies 119 Strategies Activities being considered Current progress Timeframe Coordinate the development plans of the transport and renewable energy sectors. The transport sector is directly linked to the development of renewable energy infrastructure in the country. Therefore, effective coordination mechanisms between the two sectors will be established. • Increased deployment of EVs will contribute towards increased electrification, especially adoption of modern renewable energy systems (to mitigate emissions from power source). • At the same time, RE systems, especially decentralised RE systems, need to be complemented by the use of storage in the form of batteries. The technology used for these batteries are also the same used for EVs.

Transport infrastructure also makes an important contribution to regional integration. The PDP does not address the climate change footprint of the sector, but concern is expressed about climate change impacts in low-lying urban areas. The Final National Climate Change Policy, Strategy and Action Plan (2014-2021), however, includes the following measures: ● Improving road and drainage infrastructure conditions to cope with climate change; ● Revising design criteria to make future infrastructure more resilient to climate change; ● Adapting urban planning and incorporating measures to reduce GHGs (such as reduce traffic congestion and reuse road material); and, ● Reduce emissions by amending the current legislation to regulate levels from exhaust gases. The National Adaptation Plan (2019) recommends to updated design criteria for resilient infrastructure, protection and flood mitigation and adaption measures.

Fuel cell vehicles using hydrogen from renewable sources are an important option especially for applications that are difficult to electrify (such as heavy goods vehicles for long-haul transport). Electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles offer the possibility to use 100% renewable energy and are also considerably more efficient than petrol and diesel vehicles. Eco-driving training teaches drivers how to use and operate their vehicles as efficiently as possible. The rail infrastructure is 100% electrified and powers the trains entirely with electricity from renewable sources. The majority of freight transport has been shifted to the rails, and the remaining goods transports are handled with non-fossil drives (electromobility, in part with overhead-line lorries, and with hydrogen).
