The transport sector for its part remains a major consumer of fossil fuels as motor vehicles: in passenger cars, sea and air vessels, burn gasoline, diesel or jet fuel in internal combustion engines. The Government of Seychelles has identified the promotion of active and electric mobility as a strategy for reducing road transport-related GHG emissions as well as increasing the share of RE storage and penetration. To contribute to the key climate change mitigation actions on lowering the carbon intensity of the mobility sector, Seychelles undertakes to: • Reduce high-carbon mobility by urban planning and use of TIC. • Create secure and attractive urban cycling and walking pathways and routes • Reduce GHG emissions in domestic maritime transport.

• Create secure and attractive urban cycling and walking pathways and routes • Reduce GHG emissions in domestic maritime transport. • Electrify the vehicles fleet with a priority for public transportation, collective, high-passenger load, duty and commercial vehicles over private, individual, low-passenger load vehicles, to make mobility shift socially inclusive and create public adherence and local jobs. • Promote EV mobility in Seychelles. 7.1.2.3 Solid Waste ManagementFor waste management, the Government policy in the previous NDC was to capture 50% landfill gas from disused Providence I landfill for flaring by 2025 (17kt CO2e). At the time of this update (2021), the Country is making use of Providence II landfill (disposal unit 1) since 2015 and with expected end life of 2025.

The transition can be helped by reducing transport needs and improving efficiency. Sound land-use planning, more effective goods transport, greater use of public transport, cycling and walking and new innovative mobility solutions will all be needed as part of the approach. It is also essential to put in place the enabling conditions for a low-emission development pathway. There must be a shift towards sustainable solutions for investment, technology, material and energy use and consumption. This will require sound planning and policy instruments to ensure that long-term investment decisions taken in the near future do not lock in high emissions, making it more difficult to achieve a low-emission pathway. At the same time, it is important that this approach has broad public support.

Outside the larger towns, communities have dynamic centres with a good balance between residential areas, commercial activities and workplaces. Footpaths and cycle paths, green spaces and outdoor recreation areas have been combined with easy access to cultural activities, workplaces, school and other activities. Even though it is not possible for everyone to walk or cycle to work and school, zero-emission vehicles and better public transport have more or less eliminated emissions from passenger transport. Densification of urban areas reduces the need for building on undeveloped land that can instead serve as carbon sinks. This is being done in a way that takes into account the need for green spaces, promotes people’s well-being and results in dynamic cities and communities.

There are many opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation while also saving money for households, improving environmental quality and health in communities, and providing more choices for moving people and goods. Policies that can contribute to emissions reduction pathways consistent with the NDC include: tailpipe emissions and efficiency standards; incentives for zero emission personal vehicles; funding for charging infrastructure to support multi-unit dwellings, public charging, and long-distance travel; and research, development, demonstration, and deployment efforts to support advances in very low carbon new-generation renewable fuels for applications like aviation, and other cutting-edge transportation technologies across modes. Investment in a wider array of transportation infrastructure will also make more choices available to travelers, including transit, rail, biking, and pedestrian improvements to reduce the need for vehicle miles traveled.
