Supporting the development of a transport GHG and air pollutants "double peaking" strategy

Air pollution is already a concern for China’s policymakers. With the submission of China's new NDCs , now is the time to update decarbonization goals and increase ambitions.

The NDC-TIA program builds on previous work by consortium partners and engages with ongoing local projects to support the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People’s Republic of China and provide high-end technical support for medium- and long-term emissions reductions strategies in the transport sector.

To support implementation of these reduction strategies, the program helps develop a national transport GHG and air pollutants “double peaking” strategy, provides a technical support platform at both national and provincial levels, and improves modelling capacity at the province level.

 

Strategic Partners


Ministry of Ecology and Environment

  • National Center for Climate Change Strategy and International Cooperation

  • Vehicle Emission Control Center

  • Department of Ecology and Environment of Guangdong Province

 

Key Outputs


Output 1

China will implement its NDCs and will raise its transport climate ambitions through long-term decarbonization strategies, such as the co-control of GHG and air pollutant emissions.

Output 2

output 2-01.png

Stakeholders in at least one province jointly commit to developing a greenhouse gas and air pollutant “double peaking” strategy for transport.

 

 Project Progress


The China component of the NDC-TIA program has conducted in-depth collaboration with local partners and achieved fruitful results.

Progress has not only been aligned with development of China’s GHG and air pollutant emission reduction strategies and major emission reduction policies for the medium and long term, it has also met the demands of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment with regards to project implementation and the orientation of technical research and capacity building at both national and provincial levels.

The stakeholder platform at the national and provincial level was established in 2021 and used for developing the regulatory framework on GHG and transport-related air pollutant emissions.
