The Government will pursue the possibilities of decarbonizing through such approaches. In order to make it easier to transport without private vehicles the shift to public transportation of low CO2 emissions, such as railways and buses, and further use of bicycles will be promoted through initiatives such as commuting traffic management by the operators and public awareness activities. Additionally, the Government aims to reduce CO2 emissions in logistics and distribution by reducing redelivery with cooperation among shippers and logistics and deliver- 55 - companies, diversification and improved convenience in delivery methods for courier services, and improving the environment for active participation of consumers.

This will be accompanied by enforcement with penalties. An awareness raising campaign will support behavioural change and promote the benefits of this approach, as well as raise awareness of enforcement and penalties. Supporting asset and capacity measures: Inspection equipment and buildings, or specific areas for tests and inspections. Capacity measures will need to involve a broad range of stakeholders.

Description: This action focuses on the expansion and creation of new cycling and pedestrian pathways/sidewalks both within and outside the central business district of Nuku’alofa. It includes the development of an integrated urban planning program (homes, employment, transport), dedicated cycle lanes, pedestrians-only city centre areas (cyclist and pedestrians only paths /roads) and permanent removal of import duties for bicycles. This will be brought together under a green cities program with a sustained 5-year awareness raising campaign on health benefits of cycling and walking. In the past, Tongans walked a lot, so there are strong linkages to culture which can be reactivated, making this a matter of learning from the past and building it into the future of sustainable transport and community health.
