The measures, policies, and tools that low- and middle-income countries (LMICs),cities leverage in charting their own decarbonization trajectories depend on local contexts and needs. To help guide national- and city-level policymakers determine the best low-carbon pathway for their urban transport systems, this report introduces different decarbonization measures organized into the AVOID-SHIFT-IMPROVE (ASI) framework and discusses how these measures interact with complex urban transport environments, their potential costs, benefits, synergies, and trade-offs. It also discusses the institutions, funding and financing, and stakeholder engagement needed to enable these decarbonization measures. This report also collates the language and evidence needed for policymakers to leverage decarbonization objectives for greater ambition in their urban transport planning.
