About this title

Synopsis

A diferencia de lo que ha ocurrido en otros sectores, el reconocimiento de las consecuencias del cambio clim�tico en el transporte ha sido lento. Las pol�ticas dirigidas a orientar la demanda hacia modalidades y tecnolog�as con bajas emisiones deben formar parte de los programas y proyectos de inversi�n. Dichas pol�ticas pueden reducir la demanda de transporte en el largo plazo al modificar la geograf�a econ�mica de las ciudades y los pa�ses. Pero para que esto ocurra, se requiere una estrecha coordinaci�n de las pol�ticas de transporte, medio ambiente y salud. En este informe se pone de manifiesto que las pol�ticas relativas al cambio clim�tico en el contexto del transporte se han visto afectadas por la desconexi�n entre la formulaci�n e implementaci�n de las pol�ticas de infraestructura y en materia ambiental. Se han centrado en aumentar la capacidad de la infraestructura para adoptar modalidades con bajas emisiones y en establecer la normativa. Sin embargo, mientras menor es la coordinaci�n horizontal entre las pol�ticas sobre oferta y sobre demanda, mayor es la incertidumbre acerca de c�mo se pueden reducir realmente las emisiones. Las amplias reformas sectoriales propuestas en este informe hacen necesaria una coordinaci�n horizontal no solo entre los diferentes aspectos de la formulaci�n de pol�ticas de transporte, sino tambi�n entre departamentos tan diferentes como los de finanzas, regulaci�n del uso de la tierra, seguridad y salud.
