Abstract: Abstract This paper discusses the economic valuation of the impacts on climate change from transport. Different studies have dealt with this topic (technical assessments, guidelines, and aggregate models). They show a large interval, which is mostly caused by the numerous uncertainties categorised according to whether they are of a technical, economic, or decisional nature. As long as the value of GHG emissions is not differentiated between sectors, a fair carbon evaluation for transport cannot be provided. To this aim, a mesoscopic approach to set the policy implications and the targets achievable by the transport sector can be a valid solution.
