Green transport: resource optimization in the road sector in PRC: executive summary
The findings of an in depth study financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and implemented by the Ministry of Transport (MOT) of the People's Republic of China on "Resource Optimization in the Road Sector" are being published as reference material for those who are interested in "Green Transport". Green Transport is a new concept - an initiative to support sustainable economic development without sacrificing the local and global environment. "Green Transport" aims to provide society with a transport system that leaves a smaller physical footprint, uses less energy and produces less CO2 and other harmful pollutants. Careful planning and sympathetic design are key elements in achieving "Green Transport" - to make it possible to decrease land use, especially farm land, increase energy efficiency through operational improvements and reduce harmful pollutants by improved energy pricing and socially responsible economic assessment of alternatives. This publication and companion support documents together record the results of one and a half years' collaboration between national consultants of the China Academy of Transport Sciences (CATS) and international consultants working under the guidance of staff of MOT and the ADB.
