Reducing Carbon Emissions through Transport Demand Management Strategies, A review of international examples, Final Report

The aim of this project is to build capacities and competencies to enable Beijing municipal authorities to quantify and model the impact and benefits of various TDM strategies. This will help officials in Beijing and other major urban centers in China identify and implement the most effective and beneficial set of TDM measures.

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Beijing Transportation Research Center (BTRC) are the implementing partners. GIZ is a global service provider in the field of international cooperation and professional training for sustainable development. BTRC’s mission is to conduct systematic research on transport development strategies for policies and planning in Beijing and to present recommendations on these measures and action plans to the People’s Municipal Government of Beijing.

The project is supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) and the Beijing Municipal Commission for Transportation (BMCT).
