Использование ископаемого топлива по-прежнему доминирует в транспортном секторе: 95 процентов энергии вырабатывается из нефтепродуктов. На транспорт также приходится почти четверть глобальных выбросов парниковых газов. Об этом в Нью-Йорке на встрече высокого уровня, посвященной экологичному транспорту, заявил глава Департамента ООН по экономическим и социальным вопросам Ли Цзюньхуа.
При этом он подчеркнул, что во все более взаимосвязанном мире при правильном подходе транспорт и мобильность могут изменить жизнь людей к лучшему.
«Загрязняющие вещества от транспорта, особенно в городах, напрямую влияют на здоровье людей. Повышение эффективности транспорта, сокращение использования ископаемого топлива и инвестиции в общественный транспорт должны быть главными приоритетами наших действий в этой сфере», – сказал он.
В прошлом году Генеральная Ассамблея ООН объявила 26 ноября Всемирным днем устойчивого транспорта, приняв резолюцию, предложенную Туркменистаном.
Международные транспортные коридоры
Выступая на встрече, глава агентства транспорта и коммуникаций при кабинете министров Туркменистана Мамметхан Чакыев сказал, что принятие этой резолюции подчеркивает исключительную важность транспорта в глобальном масштабе.
Чакыев отметил, что за последние 10 лет были приняты 4 резолюции, касающиеся роли транспортных и транзитных коридоров и необходимость взаимодействия между всеми видами транспорта для обеспечения стабильных и надежных международных перевозок и достижения.
По его словам, Туркменистан уделяет особое внимание участию в создании таких международных транспортных коридоров, как Ляпис Лазули, соединяющий Афганистан, Туркменистан, Азербайджан и Грузию, а также коридоров Узбекистан–Туркменистан–Иран–Оман–Катар, Север-Юг и ТРАСЕКА (Европа-Кавказ-Азия). Эти проекты способствуют развитию международной торговли и экономическому росту.
Обеспечить равный доступ к транспорту для всех
Председатель Генеральной Ассамблеи Деннис Фрэнсис на встрече сообщил, что более одного миллиарда человек – примерно одна восьмая часть населения планеты – не имеют доступа к всепогодным дорогам.
«Нашим главным приоритетом должно быть обеспечение равного доступа к устойчивому транспорту, особенно для стран, находящихся в особой ситуации, и уязвимых сообществ», – сказал он.
Фрэнсис, в частности, обратил внимание на развивающиеся страны, не имеющие выхода к морю, малые островные государства и наименее развитые страны, многие из которых сталкиваются с такими проблемами, как устаревшая инфраструктура, отсутствие технических возможностей и снижение устойчивости к изменению климата.
Глава Генассамблеи подчеркнул, что развитие транспортных систем может значительно изменить всю социально-экономическую структуру общества.
«Подумайте, например, как улучшение доступа к устойчивому транспорту может значительно повысить показатели по числу детей, которые ходят в школу, особенно среди наиболее бедных и уязвимых слоев населения, включая девочек и учащихся из экономически неблагополучных семей, из отдаленных сельских районов», – сказал он.

Transportation plays a crucial role in shaping our environment and well-being. It’s high time to prioritize efficiency, reduce fossil fuel dependency, and invest in public transit for a sustainable future.
He emphasized the importance of transportation in the global scale and highlighted how pollutants from vehicles directly affect people’s health. Enhancing transportation efficiency, reducing fossil fuel usage, and investing in public transport should be our primary priorities in this field. In an increasingly interconnected world, transportation and mobility can change people’s lives for the better when approached correctly.
Are there any specific plans to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels in the transportation sector to address the significant greenhouse gas emissions?
