Abstract

Peaking carbon dioxide emissions and achieving carbon neutrality is a major strategic decision taken by China and it brings significant pressure and challenges to the transport sector. Peaking carbon emissions is an important direction for the highquality development and green transformation of the transport sector. This study analyzes the status quo of green development and carbon emission in China’s transport sector and identifies the challenges for achieving the carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals in the transport sector. The overall idea is to peak carbon emissions actively and steadily by implementing categorized policies, combining short- and long-term goals, controlling carbon emission increment, and adjusting the current emission structure. An overall path for carbon reduction in the transport sector at different stages is proposed. Furthermore, we summarize several key measures to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality in the transport sector: (1) optimizing the transport structure, (2) promoting the energy efficiency of transport equipment, (3) popularizing low-carbon transport equipment, (4) improving the traffic organizing efficiency, and(5) encouraging low-carbon travel modes.
