Transport policies and air pollution in Kenya

A research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute that develops a detailed road transport inventory for greenhouse gases and air pollutants in Kenya to analyze policy scenarios and project emissions from 2010 to 2050.

• Road transport is the dominant mode of transit in Kenya, accounting for 93% of all passenger and freight traffic.
• Projections indicate that without intervention (a business as usual scenario), emissions in the road transport sector could increase exponentially between 2010 and 2050.
• The most effective strategies for Kenya to reduce climate warming and improve air quality include enhancing vehicle standards and fuel economy, alongside investing in public transport systems and improving fuel sources.
