Information about CO2 emissions from transport
From October 1st 2013 :
Public or private persons organising or selling a transport service, departing from, or arriving to a location in France, will have to inform the beneficiary of the transport on the quantity of CO2 emitted by the means of transport used
Goals :
- Make citizens and companies aware of the carbon footprint of the transport service they use
- Promote transport that produces the least amount of CO2 … and finally reduce emissions !
-

Transport GHG Emissions in France Transport GHG emissions in France : 133 MteqCO2 in 2011
(international transport not included)
27 % of total GHG emissions in France, first economic sector in terms of GHG emissions
A steady growth between 1990 and 2005, slightly decreasing now

Targets for GHG Emissions IPCC : A worldwide reduction of 50 % to restrict global warming to 2°C
EU for 2020 : A reduction of 20 % (compared to 1990-level)
A reduction of 10 % is needed for non-ETS emissions (compared to 2005-level)
The target for non-ETS emissions (which include transport) in France is a reduction of 14 %
EU for 2050 :
A reduction of at least 80 % of GHG emissions (compared to 1990-level)
For the transport sector, the reduction needed has been evaluated to about 60%
National targets (defined at different times) :
2050 : a reduction of 75 % (factor 4) : For the transport sector, the reduction needed has been evaluated to about 65 %
2020 : Reduction of 20 % of GHG emissions in 2020

Communication of CO2 Information
CO2 emissions from well-to-wheels and possibly also from well-to-tank and tank-to-wheels
According to circumstances, information will have to be given before or after the fulfillment of the transport service
In some cases, a simplified communication will be possible : for example, for public transport (subway ticket without origin nor destination)
-
16/01/2013 21
Conclusions
Many experiences of CO2 information in the world but the fact that it is mandatory in France is a real innovation
Defining a unique methodology to calculate emissions enables making comparisons on a fair basis
European standards is a good thing but we need :
To be transparent with emission factors used in each country
To have a worldwide standard
In addition to CO2 information, many other applications may be developped to help the companies and the local authoriries to reduce their CO2 emissions from transport

Transportation and Climate Change
1 – Mitigation measure :
Information about CO2 emissions from transport
2 – Adaptation measure :
National climate change adaptation plan 2011-2015,
Infrastucture and transport measures
The general part is taken from a communication made by Nicolas Beriot and Jean Jouzel at UN climate change conference in 2011
-
23
National Plan : preliminary facts
2001 : creation of a national observatory on climate change impacts, with mssions on adaptation
2006 : definition of a national adaptation strategy
2009 : a national economic assessment of climate change impacts in France pointed out costs and benefits
2009 : Law of August 3rd, 2009 (Grenelle 1), art. 42 : « a national adaptation plan to climate change will be realized before 2011 for major sectors »
-
24
National Plan : genesis Until november 2010 : a 10-month participatory
process involving all adaptation national stakeholders,
a local concertation
a citizen consultation (via internet)
November 23rd, 2010 : final roundtable
January 2011 : the French community of climate science released data and maps describing the state of the knowledge and climate indicators needed for adaptation planning
July 2011 : approval of the national plan
-
25
The concertation mechanism Adaptation : complex, socio-economic implications and
behavioral shift to anticipate => different stakeholders need to be involved into the decision-making process
Climate science => science-based scenarios need to be synthetized and communicated
A national concertation group with diverse stakeholders : elected representatives, trade unions & employers, state-administration, civil society (NGOs), scientists :
Build a common understanding of adaptation issue : information, reference scenarios, capacity building
Build common recommendations : transparency and consensus Build mutual trust : Government commited itself in implementing
each recommendation that could find a consensus position
-
26
Results of the concertation
More than 200 recommandations adopted at the national level
Local level consultation : critical analysis & new proposals… and awareness raising about the future local adaptation actions
Citizen consultation : strong interest in climate change issues and broad support to the outputs of the process
In November 2010, 211 recommendations were reported to the Minister
-
27
National Plan : content Translating recommendations into concrete mesures
was carried out through public expertise and cross-ministerial coordination
80 actions declined in 230 concrete measures have been designed for implementation between 2011 and 2015

Data and scenarios used Simulations based on 2 greenhouse gas emission
scenarios (IPCC Fourth Assessment Report) :
scenario B2, which is quite optimistic
scenario A2, which is quite pessimistic
19 climate indices (climate averages and extremes) were established : temperature, precipitation, soil moisture and extreme winds).
presented separately by reference period : 1980-1999 or 1970-1999, horizons of 2030, 2050 and 2100 respectively
Significant data for :
Temperatures
Precipitation
Rising sea levels
Watercourse flow in continental France
-

Climatic scenarios Reminder : hypothesis and scenarios from IPCC (2007)
Figures show , without specific climate policies and for different scenarios :
2000-2100 evolution of the world GHG emissions
The previsions of surface temperature
-
31
Evolution of world temperatures and sea level by 2100
The uncertainty magnitude is triggered by both uncertainties in climate modeling and in anthropic GHG emissions.
French further work was conducted using scenarios A2 and B2.
-

Main results from national concertation about transportation
Impacts strongly depend on territories and activities :
Climate change affect each territory differently
Social inequalities
Need for knowledge and infomation
Adaptation requires organization (resistance and resiliency)
The State must define reference values for climate change and scenarios
Debates are needed to decide if the support must be individual or collective (state organized, insurance, local authorities, companies)
Definition of acceptable risk => responsibility
New governance methods might be used to diagnose and to elaborate adaptation strategies
-
35
Main outcomes for infrastructures Defining climate reference scenarios and account for extremes
events
Review and update technical handbooks about conception, exploitation, maintenance, safety having regard to these scenarios
Strenghten the scientific research on materials and structures behavior, for better resistance and resiliency
Prospective studies about links between climate change and mobility behaviors
Fine cartography of risks (waves, sea flooding, protective structures, natural specificities, coastal erosion)
Review and update crisis management tools
Review diagnosing methods, and diagnose protective structures
Training professionnals, and informing users
