Conservation and management of this area, including implementation of forests, soil and water conservation activities, is expected to greatly sequestrate carbon and could function as the carbon sink. c. Moving towards Environmentally Sustainable Transport System Promotion of public transport system and bicycle use, introduction of fuel tax used in Kathmandu Valley for air quality improvement and further promotion of non-motorised transport would contribute to the reduction of pollution in urban areas. d. Promoting Climate Friendly Practices in Agriculture Nepal is implementing farmers schools where local varieties of crops will be promoted using local and indigenous knowledge and building on efficient technologies. Similarly, efforts are underway to develop flood and drought-resistant crop varieties to cope with climate change impacts.

Question: Is there any Air pollution reduction?
Answer: Promotion of public transport system and bicycle use, introduction of fuel tax used in Kathmandu Valley for air quality improvement and further promotion of non-motorised transport would contribute to the reduction of pollution in urban areas.

Many of the mitigation options can be summarized as “modal shift” – moving passengers or freight from one form or mode of transport to another, less polluting, one. Air pollution in major urban areas is severe and the health benefits of these measures immediate. For example, when High Speed Rail (HSR) is available in Nigeria, a shift from air travel to HSR could begin. Significant investments are being made to revive rail transport, which also has the potential to carry a share of the fast-growing cargo load. With the early stage status of the high speed rail network in Nigeria, it is not possible to quantify the costs and potential accurately. Measures to increase the efficiency of existing vehicles and the transport system are also possible.

These plans should evaluate the possibility of reducing travel by means of reorganisation and changes in operation such as teleworking. These mobility plans must provide the necessary elements to promote the use of bicycles when travelling, such as having indoor parking or charging points for electric bicycles. The experience of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 in 2020 has shown how policies to restrict mobility, which have forced the implementation of teleworking or reduced mobility to essential minimum levels, could mean the country witnesses a 52% reduction in GHG emissions if they are maintained throughout a year (see Chart 7), taking into account domestic mobility, fuel tourism and the reduction in electricity consumption.

Aware that Cabo Verde needs support to meet these ambitious mitigation targets, the country seeks to join regional and international initiatives promoting low-carbon maritime transport, starting along the North-West African routes. Cabo Verde’s contributions in this sector for 2030 are as follows: MITIGATION CONTRIBUTION #3: LOWERING THE CARBON INTENSITY OF MOBILITY Cabo Verde undertakes to electrify at least 25% of its land-borne transport fleet (new vehicles) by 2030 by resorting to RE sources. Conditional on adequate international support, the shares per vehicle category could increase to 50% in favor of public, collective high-passenger load vehicles. Cabo Verde will also undertake measures to advance carbon-free active mobility and sustainable maritime transport.

(Residential cooking and biogas) By 2030, ensure 25% of households use electric stoves as their primary mode of cooking. By 2025, install 500,000 improved cookstoves, specifically in rural areas. By 2025, install an additional 200,000 household biogas plants and 500 large scale biogas plants (institutional/industrial/ municipal/community). These three combined targets can reduce emissions from eq. in BAU in 2025 to approximately eq. This is around 11% reduction in emissions from the cooking sector. For 2030, these three targets can reduce emissions from approximately 2,064 Gg CO2 eq. from BAU to 1,599 eq., which is around 23% reduction in emissions.

The Environmental Protection and Management Act of 2015 establishes the legal backing such that, “Where the area is protected as a carbon sink it shall follow the principles developed by the UNFCCC.”17 By 2030, all remaining wetlands and watershed areas with carbon sequestration potential will be protected as carbon sinks. In 2014, the transport sector consumed over one quarter of the country’s fossil fuel imports, 20% of which were gasoline and 11% diesel.18 The NEP addresses this emissions sector by inter alia recommending the use of vehicles with higher fuel efficiency and lower emissions, and support for hybrid, flex-­‐fuel for electric vehicles as national targets. Antigua and Barbuda aims to, by 2020, establish efficiency standards for the importation of all vehicles and appliances.
