Abstract: Jimin Zhao, Research Associate Professor in the Division of Social Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, conducted a study to explore the potential for the city to peak its carbon emission in the passenger transport sector. Carbon emissions from the urban passenger transport sector in Shenzhen will more than double by 2050 under current policies. With the right policies, it is possible for Shenzhen to peak its urban passenger transport emissions by 2030. Reducing new car quotas and raising fuel economy standards are essential measures for carbon emission to peak by 2030. Policies needed include raising parking fees, limiting parking supply, increasing EV charging facilities and subway lines, and improving public transport services.
