Sustainability at its core, gives meaning of positive change. Likewise Sustainable transport is one that brings positive revolution in transportation system in terms of economic, social and ecological aspects. The unsustainable trends in transport sector as presently observed would further worsen social equity, lower energy security, increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and destroy natural habitats and ecosystem, which ultimately have adverse impacts on national productivity and human development. Aspects of Sustainable Transport: Its purpose is economic efficiency (lower operating cost per pass-km), environmental sustainability (lower emissions per pass km) and socially equitable and safe.
Nepal and Sustainable transport In Nepal, environmental issues related to transport sector are addressed through several mitigative or project level instruments (such as emission mitigation, EIA, accident reduction etc). The vision statement for National EST Strategy (2015-2040) for Nepal is set as "Developing a transport system that is efficient, accessible, people-centric, affordable, reliable, safe, inclusive, and environmental friendly". Nepal seeks achievements of following indications in term of environmental aspects.
Examples of Sustainable Transport in Nepal Environment-friendly Vehicle and Transport Policy, are setting up 10 electric charging stations around Kathmandu's Ring Road, setting up battery-recycling center, manufacturing plants for electric vehicles' parts and products, and developing infrastructure for bicycles, motorcycles, cars, taxis, micro and minibuses, trams, trolley and electric rails. |

There're so many aspects to consider when deciding which transportation system to be installed, thank you very much for narrowing it down. With the new transportation system, I hope to see greener Nepal with less air pollution!

I agree this is a very useful construct to evaluate sustainability. I hope to use these different aspects in thinking about sustainability in my community.

Thanks for an informative and very well structured report on quite some good facts about Nepal. I like the way you began your report by defining sustainablity as positive change. Hope Nepal is able to achieve as per it's EST strategy which has very well defined goals.
