Even though the emission of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) is<br />
lower per capita, the developing world increasingly<br />
contributes to climate change. Further motorization due<br />
to population growth and the increasing private travel<br />
demands will accentuate the Greenhouse Effect,<br />
jeopardising efforts to limit climate change.<br />

and GHG emission are estimated to increase by 65% by 2010<br />
Urban transport in developing countries is<br />
increasingly contributing to climate change<br />
