Traffic accounts for more than half of all CO2 pollution threatening our cities. But none of this has as yet been targeted in the Kyoto Treaty. The Protocols have been signed by some 141 countries, but not one city. Yet 70% of all people live in cities and increasingly get about in them using motor vehicles which burn fossil fuels and contribute both to global warming and a wide array of local public health problems.
This wide-open international collaborative program is being created to take direct aim at this challenge. It is very ambitious and proposes rigorous, open and checkable short-term performance targets at the level of each participating city.
