Nordic Transport and Environment : Summary of a Policy Study

A summary report of a policy study made for the Nordic group for Transport and the Environment.

Arguing that conventional descriptions of statistics are insufficient to analyze the effects of transport on the environment the conclusion is that a life cycle perspective of the transport sector is needed.

However, existing literature, statistics and research do not give satisfactory coverage of the environmental problems in question.

The report goes on to review possible measures to reduce such problems by looking at how governments could employ different policy instruments to make better use of technology.
