This report identifies and analyzes successful policies, measures, and initiatives (interventions) for reducing urban freight transport emissions, identifying their impacts and implementation costs, with a special focus on those interventions being implemented in Latin America up to the year 2013. ...

This publication analyzes the success and failure factors of natural gas implementation programs in transportation systems, ranging from countries that have experienced sustained growth in the application of natural gas in light vehicles, such as Argentina and Brazil, to countries where programs have collapsed, such as New Zealand, to countries with recent natural gas vehicle programs, such as Chi...

The BreatheLife pamphlet on household air pollution highlights its severe health impacts, including 3.8 million premature deaths annually, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. It identifies inefficient biomass and coal stoves as major contributors, emitting harmful pollutants and black carbon, which also exacerbates climate change. The pamphlet emphasizes transitioning to clean fuels ...

In 2014, WHO issued the first-ever health-based guidelines on clean fuels and technologies for household cooking, heating and lighting. These guidelines aim to help public health policy-makers, as well as specialists working on energy and resource issues, understand and implement best approaches to reducing household air pollution. This extensive scientific assessment identifies which energy syste...

In 2021, the Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) convened the Clean Cooking & Climate Consortium (4C) to support LMIC governments to make specific commitments to reduce emissions from cooking in their NDCs and/or associated implementation plans. 4C provides technical support for countries’ clean cooking implementation plans as well as developing an MRV framework for climate goals achieved through cle...
