Proposal for sustainable transport development management solutions towards a lowcarbon economy in Ben Tre City

Abstract

Transportation is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions globally, with a growth rate faster than any other energy-using sector (according to the International Energy Agency report). To achieve the national goal of keeping the global temperature increase below 1.5°C, reducing emissions, and achieving carbon neutrality, the development of sustainable transportation in Ben Tre City must be integrated with management solutions aimed at a low-carbon economy. A theory-based approach refers to the global carbon cycle and analyzes the current state of urban transportation, as well as the CO2 emission rates from vehicles in Ben Tre City. This article proposes solutions for integrating policies that enhance the public transportation system, promote non-motorized transport, and apply technology to sustainable mobility solutions. Additionally, it emphasizes the development of public charging infrastructure and the mobilization of community participation through a financial escrow model that invests in carbon reduction projects. These solutions aim to create incentives for the implementation of policies that achieve sustainable transportation development goals.
