Biomass
Hydro-energy
Type of fuel
Land use competition with food production,
Create incentives for
Biofuels intensive agriculture
energy efficiency
From heavy fuel oil to marine diesel oil for ships
improvement projects
Operational measures for ships and planes Routing and timing for ships
Air traffic management (avoid
Awareness-raising /
waiting for landing)
educational campaigns
Apply fossil fuel taxes to air traffic and shipping
Equity problem: weighs more
Stop fossil fuel subsidies heavily on poor population
GHG assessments
Increase taxes on vehicle purchase and registration, and on use of roads and car parks
of public sector and
local authorities
Agriculture and forestry
Stop subsidies to intensive farming
Limit / control the use of fertilizers and pesticides

Promote sustainable logging (labelling)
global market)
