CONTEXT: NATIONAL ACTION PLAN ON SLCPS

ccacoalition.org

2

  • Cote d’Ivoire has undertaken national SLCP planning since 2016 under the Ministry of Environment and Ivorian Anti-Pollution Centre (CIAPOL);

​

  • National SLCP Plan endorsed in 2019 identifies priority mitigation measures to reduce black carbon and methane;

​

  • Measures included in National SLCP Plan include actions in the transport sector, including soot-free buses in Abidjan

​

CONTEXT: UPDATED NDC

ccacoalition.org

3

  • Cote d’Ivoire updated its climate change commitment in April 2022

​

  • 37 mitigation measures are identified in the NDC to achieve this reduction, including:

​

    • Increase in the percentage of electric vehicles in the vehicle fleet
    • Implement fleet renewal
    • Promote an innovative mass transport system (ITS)

​

NDC enhances GHG mitigation ambition to a 30% unconditional reduction in GHG emissions, and conditional 98% reduction

CONTEXT: UPDATED NDC

ccacoalition.org

5

  • Cote d’Ivoire updated its climate change commitment in April 2022

​

  • Mitigation measures also reduce SLCPs and air pollutants
    • Full implementation of NDCs would reduce
      • Black carbon emissions by 58% in 2030 compared to baseline
      • Methane emissions by 30% in 2030 compared to the baseline

​

​

  • 7000 premature deaths avoided

INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF GHGS, SLCPS AND AIR POLLUTANTS

ccacoalition.org

6

Cote d’Ivoire has developed the National SLCP Plan and updated NDC through an integrated assessment of air pollution and climate change using LEAP

​

LEAP has been used to evaluate impact of implementing key mitigation measures at national scale to inform NDC and SLCP Plan

​

It is now being enhanced to develop mitigation assessment specific for Abidjan, including in the transport sector

  • Historic and future GHG, SLCP and air pollutant emissions estimated
  • All major sources and sinks covered in assessment
  • Emissions calculated by multiplying activity data by emission factors

INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT TRANSPORT EMISSIONS

ccacoalition.org

9

  • Transport emissions estimated using standard emission inventory methodology

​

  • Emissions = vehicles x distance travelled x emission factor

​

  • Vehicles broken down into categories:
    • Passenger cars
    • Light duty vehicles
    • Heavy duty vehicles
    • Buses
    • Motorcycles

INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT TRANSPORT EMISSIONS

ccacoalition.org

10

  • Vehicle data in Cote d’Ivoire available from inspection programme
  • Inspection data available from 2012 to 2017 for ~700,000 vehicles

​

  • Data provides number of vehicles in each category
  • Fraction of vehicles using gasoline, diesel, LPG etc.
  • Average distance travelled
  • Data entered circulation

​

  • Data on the registration allows locations of registration to be determined, to estimate number of vehicles in Abidjan vs rest of Cote d’Ivoire (~80% of vehicles are registered in Abidjan)

NEXT STEPS

ccacoalition.org

15

  • Update transport sector data for more recent historical years
  • Implement passenger-km and tonnes-km approach to capture changes in transport demand
  • Downscale emissions from other sectors to Abidjan to compare emissions to transport in the city
  • Evaluate health benefits from implementation of transport measures
  • Evaluate additional measures specific to Abidjan on transport
  • Development of full GCF proposal for transport sector in Abidjan/Cote d’Ivoire
