Non-Motorised Transport in Greater Mekong Sub-Region (GMS)

The document argues that rapid urbanisation and economic growth in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region have led to increased greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector. It advocates for the planning of Non-Motorised Transport (NMT), specifically walking and cycling, to reduce emissions, provide health benefits, and enhance the touristic potential and livability of cities.

• Rapid economic growth in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region, with GDP averaging nearly 8% annually since the early 1990s, has driven rapid urbanisation in small-to-medium cities, which are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly from the transport sector.
