Much analysis and proposals on sustainable transport policies have been developed around the world, both at government and research institutions. It is clear that no action will provide the single solution and it is imperative to act simultaneously on: i) improvement of technology in vehicles, leading to increased energy efficiency; ii) the change in driver behavior, to use less fuel per kilometer; iii) reducing the distances traveled per vehicle; and iv) a change in the type of travels towards more sustainable modes of transport.In general, the recommendations for energy efficiency in transpo…

Guyana, like many CARICOM countries continues to depend on imported oil that fuels the electricity and transport sectors. Simultaneously, the high level of expenditure on oil reduces the financial resources available to invest in social development, environmental protection, adaptation to climate change and improving food security. The electricity sector in Guyana, in particular, offers significant opportunities for achieving reductions in fossil imports. However, fiscal and regulatory barriers to energy efficiency and renewable energy use are apparent in Guyana.

El actual estilo de desarrollo mundial no es sostenible debido a su impacto simultáneo en las condiciones económicas, sociales y ambientales, que se refleja plenamente en el desafío del cambio climático. El cambio climático, originado fundamentalmente por las emisiones de origen antropogénico, produce modificaciones ya discernibles en el clima, tales como el aumento de la temperatura media global, las alteraciones en los patrones de precipitación, el alza del nivel del mar, la reducción de la criósfera y los cambios en los patrones de los eventos climáticos extremos. Los avances en los proceso…
