Guidelines to Assess the Direct and Indirect Area of Influence of Transportation Infrastructure Projects
This guide by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) presents a 'market access methodology' to quantify the direct and indirect environmental impacts, specifically deforestation and carbon emissions, of transportation infrastructure projects. Unlike traditional methods that rely on geographical distance buffers, this approach uses social and economic dynamics—specifically how a project changes the cost and ease of connecting markets—to estimate the area of influence and predict ex-ante land use conversion.
