The Road from Kyoto" is a report from the International Energy Agency in 2000 that reviews and offers insights into how governments are grappling with the complexity of transport and CO2 policy making. It examines the transport sector from the perspective of the emissions reduction commitments made under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. It identifies the components of transport that affect CO2 emissions and details policies that contribute to emissions reduction. It presents detailed accounts of the current and future situation in six IEA countries — Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, as well as the European Union as a whole and the United States. Policies and measures directly targeting CO2 reduction, as well as those that have an indirect impact on climate change in these six countries, are reviewed. Finally, the lessons learned in each country are discussed. (Excerpt from the Foreword by Robert Priddle)
