Lea Kai Aboujaoude Climate Change Projects UNDP/Ministry of Environment 18/9/2017 IBEF

Transport: In focus

1. Massive car fleet 1, 755,264 vehicles 65 taxi per 10,000 32,977 inhabitant public transport vehicles UK  36 Spain  6.5 France  3.8

Vehicle fleet distribution

2. High ownership rate and low occupancy rates 2.8 per car 1.2 per taxi 6 per van 12 per bus

3. Old fleet

4. Heavy congestion 230,000 vehicles BEIRUT 85,000 vehicles

5. Harmful driving patterns Low driving range with a high rate of congestion and frequent stops at short time intervals  Inefficient operation of internal combustion engines & high rate of fuel consumption

Share in emissions

Share in Greenhouse gas emissions +24.6 million tonnes CO 2 eq. Total emissions in 2011

Distribution of emissions million tonnes 94% CO 2 of total emissions of CO 5,645 CO 352 CH 4 So 2 No x NMVOC 1.2 5 51 71 59% N 2 O 0.5 of total emissions of NOx

Main recommendations

Mitigation strategies: Process for reducing GHG and pollutant emissions Sustainable Mobility Strategy Endorsement strategies Demand Legislative management reforms strategy Mitigation strategies Revitalize public Renew existing Optimize road transport systems passenger cars fleet networks Mitigation factors reduce nb increase increase reduce reduce increase improve use low of mass urban number of length of vehicle vehicle carbon passenger transit traffic trips trips occupancy efficiency fuels cars means speed

Ongoing efforts Master plan of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport - Implementation of phase 1 of the rail transportation plan - Deployment of a Bus Rapid Transit - Revitalization of the public buses inside cities - Traffic management in GBA - Improved infrastructure

Ongoing efforts National Air Quality Strategy - Draft strategy and action plan - National network of air quality stations for criteria air pollutions (18 stations) - Air quality index (sensio air application)

Ongoing efforts Fleet renewal programme - Project on the Lebanese fleet renewal through a scrapping scheme - The 15 million USD project is being presented as a NAMA to the UNFCCC for potential funding opportnities
