CALCALAC+ aims at facilitating and providing technical support to authorities and stakeholders to address the air pollution and climate change problem, which is enhanced by urban transport and non-road mobile machinery. In Lima, it provides technical assistance and capacity building to public and private entities in the implementation of emission reduction measures, based on regional and global experiences.
BACKGROUND
Impact of transport on air quality and climate change:
- In Lima and Callao, 58% of PM2.5 emissions come from the transport sector.
- Land transport alone accounts for approximately 11% of the country’s GHG emissions.
Regulatory framework:
- Since 2018, both light and heavy-duty vehicles entering the country must comply with the Euro 4/IV standard, and over 90% of the country’s diesel demand is 50 ppm sulphur.
- In 2019, the Urban Transport Authority for Lima and Callao in charge of managing the transport system in this area started its activities.
Potential synergies:
- Timeline for the introduction of Euro 6/VI technologies.
- Lima and Callao Air Quality Improvement Plan, under the responsibility of the Multisectoral Clean Air Initiative Management Committee for Lima and Callao.
- GEF Project “Enhancing sustainability in e-mobility for low carbon urban transport and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) approach in batteries and vehicle components”.
