Transport in Developing Asia
Transport CO2 emissions could increase annually by 1.5%, i.e., from 2.9 in 2018 to 3.5 Gigatonne in 2030. East Asia contributes to half of the transport CO2 emissions in Asia. The second biggest contributor is South East Asia with about 22% emissions.
In terms of income segregation, 50% of Asia's transport CO2 emissions are generated by the upper-middle-income economies, one-third by low and lower middle income and the rest by high-income economies. The emission share by regions is expected to remain stable until 2030.
