Abstract

Costa Rica is internationally recognized for its fight against climate change. In 2019, the country launched its National Decarbonization Plan (NDP), presenting concrete actions in the short, mid, and long terms to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. The decarbonization of the transport sector is critical to meet this target as it accounts for more than 50% of the country’s net emissions. Plus, it can benefit from its nearly 100% renewable electricity system and its abundant renewable sources to feed the future energy demand for transportation, thus increasing energy independence.

更大的图景:哥斯达黎加交通部门的强劲脱碳

哥斯达黎加在应对气候变化方面的努力得到了国际上的认可。2019年，中国启动了《国家脱碳计划》，提出了到2050年实现温室气体净零排放的短期、中期和长期具体行动。交通运输部门的脱碳对于实现这一目标至关重要，因为它占该国净排放量的50%以上。此外，它可以从其几乎100%的可再生电力系统和丰富的可再生能源中受益，以满足未来交通运输的能源需求，从而提高能源独立性。
