tailieunhanh - The challenges of environmental mainstreaming

It is widely recognised that high-speed lines attract new travellers to the railway system. A recent study undertaken on the Madrid-to-Seville AVE line also revealed big savings in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, showing that without the AVE an additional 48,000 tonnes of CO2 would be produced on this route every year. AVE passengers were asked which transport mode they would have chosen if there were no high-speed trains: 13% said conventional train, 26% air transport, 24% private car, 3% coach and 34% said they would not have made the journey at all | Experience of integrating environment into development institutions and decisions Barry Dalal-Clayton and Steve Bass First published by International Institute for Environment and Development UK in 2009 Copyright International Institute for Environment and Development All rights reserved ISBN 978-1-84369-756-5 Further information is available at For a full list of publications or catalogue please contact International Institute for Environment and Development IIED 3 Endsleigh Street London WC1H 0DD United Kingdom newpubs@ pubs A catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library Citation Barry Dalal-Clayton and Steve Bass 2009 The challenges of environmental mainstreaming Experience of integrating environment into development institutions and decisions .
