Transport activity continues to cause large adverse impacts on the environment, human health and the economy.

This book illustrates that decoupling the environmental impacts of transport from economic growth is achievable, through the efficient use of charges, fees, taxes and other economic instruments.

Announcement
Leisure activities and tourism are major factors in the economies of OECD countries. Tourism and travel in particular have been said to contribute more than 10 per cent of world GDP, when direct and indirect impacts are taken into account, and even larger shares of the economies of, and employment in, OECD countires. Tourism activity appears to have incresed substantially over the last few decades and there are expectations of further increases.

This is the summary brochure on External costs of transport in Central and Eastern Europe.
The full report presents the detailed results of the study including current external costs by mode of transport and by country and as well as a number of conclusions and recommendations for policy. It also contains an estimate of projected future external costs of transport in 2010 for the CEI region as a whole. This study can serve as a basis for improving the assessment of externalities and developing strategies towards their internalisation and thus contributing to environmentally sustainable transport in the CEI region.
