The Growth of Transport Sector CO2 Emissions and Underlying Factors in Latin America and the Caribbean.

by Govinda R. Timilsina and Ashish Shrestha

- This study examines the factors responsible for the growth of transport sector carbon dioxide emissions in 20 Latin American and Caribbean countries during 1980-2005 by decomposing the emissions growth into components associated with changes in fuel mix, modal shift, and economic growth, as well as changes in emission coefficients and transportation energy intensity.
