Transport Emissions Analysis Methodology (TEAM) : Supporting Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) and Results-Based Climate Finance

Overview & Synopsis

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport is essential for achieving national climate targets, yet the sector has lacked practical and credible tools to quantify the emissions impacts of policies in a way that supports monitoring, reporting, verification (MRV), and results-based climate finance. This report responds to that gap by presenting a robust, MRV-compatible methodology for analyzing transport emissions. The report introduces a scenario-based transport emissions analysis methodology (TEAM) and model that quantifies emission reductions by comparing a measured With Policy scenario against a conservative and credible Without Policy counterfactual. The methodology supports analysis both ex post, using observed data to measure achieved emission reductions, and ex ante, to assess the mitigation potential of proposed policies. The current application focuses on road transport—the largest source of transport emissions—while allowing for future expansion to other transport modes.
