In Manila where it is hot and the low-income masses would rather find ways to earn and have no way to buy a new car, we find roads and hiways flooded with people using Lead-acid battery-powered low-cost e-bikes from China rather than bicycles. First, its too hot and too far to bike to work. 2nd, can use the e-bikes (3/2 wheeled) to transport people (for pay as a business or family) or light parcel/cargo. 3rd, no battery charging infrastructure so lead-acid easy to charge at home. Likewise, Many lost their jobs during covid & had to drive for ecoms like lazada shopee using gasoline (fossil fuel) motorcycles. Cannot use EV yet bec to lower their cost, ecoms require ever increasing drops/ trip of their motorcycle riders (up To 100 drops/trip or more) or lower the rate/drop forcing rider to get more drops. An EV bike cant do bec lack range and speed. So, am thinking instead of reducing pollution, you have so many gasoline-powered motorcycles and cheap lead-acid e-bikes never mind the number of accidents from reckless weaving in and out bet moving cars and “lane-splitting” or riders use space bet cars. Maybe bicycle lanes should be converted to motorcycle lanes for the safety of the rider?

Because it is relatively quick to build compared to other transport infrastructure, cycle networks can generate more climate, health, and economic benefits in the near term, often paying for itself in just a few years. This new report lays out how cycle infrastructure networks are one of the most cost-effective strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the urban passenger transport sector.

The evaluation is part of a broader plan to develop a program to retrofit existing vehicles to be more 'environmentally friendly' and 'help Canada meet its emission reduction targets.' MORE: https://rebelne.ws/4a9fhW8

Today on The Jolt… Overcoming the hurdles of #decarbonizingtransport. The solutions are various, from innovative technologies to embracing walking and cycling. But which policy options are the most effective to cut transport emissions in urban areas? What’s more? ▶ What is the future of trucks on EU roads? ▶ Will the new rules on carbon removal certification schemes be efficient in combating greenwashing? ▶ Chile is ramping up plans to become a hub of sustainable aviation fuel production. ▶ One in four Europeans resides in buildings where indoor air quality falls below national standards. What is the impact of the buildings in which we live and work on our health? Available now on our app now: https://lnkd.in/deDWYNgv Martin Baierl

Many of us have spent years - either individually or part of groups - writing submissions and letters, going on protest marches, undertaking research and writing blogs. Hoping that good research would influence policy. But as we see airports planning to expand, cruise ships back in large numbers, diesel campervans chugging once again around New Zealand, cycleways being cancelled, more motorways being built along with long distance passenger rail not being invested in and support for EVs being withdrawn, it is hard not to conclude that more radical action is required in the face of the need to quickly and significantly reduce emissions. https://lnkd.in/g5ApUuu4

In the process of scrapping their #carbonemissions targets, the #Scottish Parliament offered up some consolation prizes in an effort to distract from what Friends of the Earth #Scotland called ‘the worst environmental decision in the history of the Scottish parliament.’ In yesterday’s statement, delivered to the Scottish Parliament, Cabinet Secretary for Wellbeing Economy, Net Zero and Energy Màiri McAllan announced a new package of climate action measures. In terms of transport, it was announced that through a collaboration between the public and private sector, approximately 24,000 new charge points will be in place by 2030. The country currently has around 5,000, a quarter of the number in #London. In other transport-related initiatives, the cabinet secretary also announced that they government will explore a new national integrated ticketing system for public transport in Scotland, saying: ‘We will encourage and support operators across all modes of transport to participate in this project, which aims to enable passengers to use one ticketing system for all elements of a journey.’ In order to help people be less reliant on cars, a ‘route map’ will be published with the aim of delivering a 20% reduction in car use: ‘This will not be a one size fits all top-down approach. We understand that urban and rural Scotland will contribute differently to this and our Just Transition Plan for transport will ensure support for all communities.’ Màiri McAllan then turned to address other vehicles: ‘We will support the #transition away from petrol and diesel vans. Working with business, including the largest companies for an initial phase and in line with our New Deal for Business principles, we will develop plans and support mechanisms to accelerate the switch to #zeroemission technologies and more sustainable modes. We understand the importance of this transition to small businesses and independent traders, in particular, and we will ensure that their needs are at the heart of this work.’ #Methane emissions from #agriculture will also be tackled, with a pilot scheme promised to support the roll out of methane suppressing food products or additives.

Join Ecotrust Canada, the Building Decarbonization Coalition, and the Canadian Climate Institute for a dive into the good, the bad, and the ugly of utility regulation in North America. As climate and equity mandates in states and provinces advance, these policies run headlong into the evolving role of the public utility regulator and utilities' business models. This webinar will explore what is being done to bring utility regulation into the 21st century, with examples from across the U.S. and Canada and an emphasis on the important role of electrification. ⚡REGISTER HERE: https://ow.ly/6vnT50QApZN
