Background |
|
Kazakhstan is the largest GHG emitter in Central Asia with annual emissions of 243 MtCO2e. The transport sector is its fastest growing source of CO2 emissions projected to increase from 9 MtCO2/yr in 2008 up to 22 MtCO2/yr in 2012 and 36 MtCO2/yr in 2020 (data source TNC of RK to UNFCCC, 2005). A significant share of transport emissions is associated with ground transportation in the former capital city of Almaty, the largest and most densely populated city in the country with a population of 1.6 million. Its population is expected to exceed the 2 million threshold in the next 3 to 5 years. In Almaty, there are currently more than 500,000 vehicles registered. According to local authorities, there is an average of another 200,000 vehicles that enter the city from outlying Almaty Oblasts during working hours. Based on motor vehicle growth trends of other cities of Europe and Central Asia, further increases in private car ownership are expected in Almaty. The viable alternative to private cars should be public transport. A continuation of the “business-as-usual” growth of the transport sector without interventions will be counter to Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of “ensuring environmental sustainability” (MDG-7) and to develop global partnerships to achieve development. CAST has been designed to contribute to the outcomes and outputs of UNDP Kazakhstan Country Program (CP) and the 2010-2015 UNDAF . Specifically, CAST aligns with Kazakhstan’s UNDAF Outcome 2: Environmental Sustainability, Agency Outcome 2: Government, industries and civil society take steps to mitigate climate change impacts through energy efficiency measures, and Output 2.3: Government and energy consumers are better equipped with knowledge, policies and pilot cases on energy efficiency measures in sectors with high CO2 emission levels. The project will support achievement of GEF-4 Strategic objective-CC 5: Promoting Sustainable Innovative Systems for Urban Transport with a particular emphasis on “non-technology” options, such as planning, traffic management and modal shift to low-GHG intensive transport modes. The global objectives of CAST will be to facilitate GHG reductions through these modal transport shifts. As a consequence, urban mobility will improve through the use of efficient transport modes of lower carbon intensity and increased fuel efficiency of a modernized bus fleet.
