Transport policies and air pollution in Kenya
The study developed a detailed inventory model for eleven pollutants in Kenya's road transport sector, which accounts for 93% of all freight and passenger traffic. Projections indicate that emissions could increase exponentially by 2050 under a business-as-usual scenario. The authors identify improving fuel economy, vehicle standards, fuel sources, and public transport investment as the most effective strategies for improving air quality and meeting climate goals.

Reducing Impacts of Air Pollutants in Nepal
The study develops an emission inventory for Nepal and compares a reference scenario with a mitigation policy scenario. It finds that implementing mitigation measures could significantly reduce black carbon, methane, and PM2.5 emissions by 2050, resulting in substantial health and agricultural benefits and a positive economic return.

Kommunaalteenustega seotud veokite keskkonnamõju vähendamine Tallinnas
The report analyzes transport-related emissions in Tallinn from 2000 to 2009, noting a significant increase in CO2e emissions driven primarily by private car usage. It evaluates various fiscal and regulatory measures to mitigate these impacts, with a specific focus on municipal service vehicles. The study finds that implementing eco-driving training for municipal fleets could reduce CO2e emissions by 1,330 to 2,660 tons annually and save between 0.5 and 1 million euros in fuel costs. Despite strategic goals for sustainable transport, the report concludes that Tallinn's actual progress is hindered by a continued focus on car-centric infrastructure.

CONTRIBUTION DETERMINEE AU NIVEAU NATIONALE - TCHAD
Chad's updated NDC aims for a 19.3% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to a business-as-usual scenario, primarily through energy efficiency and reforestation. The plan identifies agriculture as the dominant emission source (95%) and emphasizes extreme vulnerability to droughts and floods. Implementation requires an estimated 6.7 billion USD for mitigation and between 5 and 14 billion USD for adaptation, with a heavy reliance on international financial support.
