Vehicle Emissions Standards

GGGI will support the development of a vehicle and fuel standards for Vanuatu to improve the efficiency of the engines and their emissions. GGGI will engage a technical expert to support his work. The activities are split up into three main parts: - Data collection and assessment of the current fuel and vehicle standards - Preparation of a proposal document to establish feasible and adequate standards for the goal to reduce GHG emissions - Stakeholder participation in initial interviews, a workshop, and a feedback session The principal deliverables will be both, a recommendation on i) fuel standards and ii) vehicle emission standards. Apart from supporting a reduction in GHG emissions, the reduction of pollutants can lead to better air quality and a reduction to the related burden of disease by inhabitants and a reduced burden on the public health system.
