In many countries the major part of intercity transport is performed by car and air and as a result, the contribution to the carbon footprint is substantially higher than the share of overall passenger transport performance. This creates a challenge to develop a sustainable organization of intercity transport which requires a true joint effort of policy makers, industry sectors and households. This presupposes that all options for reducing the carbon footprint of the transport modes ? car, air and rail ? are fully exploited through modern propulsion technology, use of regenerative energy and efficient organization of transport processes. Basic conditions for meeting this requirement are an incentive compatible public framework of regulation, taxation, charging and education, the private willingness to adjust to new behavioral patterns and a consequent push of technological progress towards energy and CO2 savings. This book begins with an international comparison of intercity transport and the current state of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) of this transport segment. A focus is given to comparing the situation in the EU, the US and Japan while describing the more recent development of intercity transport in China, followed by an analysis of intercity transport policies and their contribution to meet the global climate change issues. This book will be of interest to researchers in transportation economics and policy, as well as civil engineering and planning. 410 0$aTransportation Research, Economics and Policy,$x1572-4387 ;$v15 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aTransportation 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aCivil engineering 606 $aEnvironmental Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000 606 $aTransportation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/119000 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 606 $aCivil Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23004 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aTransportation. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aCivil engineering. 615 14$aEnvironmental Economics. 615 24$aTransportation. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 615 24$aCivil Engineering. 676 $a388.042 702 $aHayashi$b Yoshitsugu$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMorichi$b Shigeru$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aOum$b Tae Hoon$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRothengatter$b Werner$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298507603321 996 $aIntercity Transport and Climate Change$92535951 997 $aUNINA
