 Transport Climate Action Data Tool (TraCAD)
Back Back to Toolboxes

The Transport Climate Action Data Tool (TraCAD) supports and facilitates countries to systematically assess the impact of climate actions in the transport sector. It does this by streamlining all aspects of the data collection process, offering standard methodologies, calculations and reporting in one place,  while enabling users to create, edit, and delete greenhouse gas inventories, assign activity data to relevant institutions, and assess emission sources. TraCAD also guides users, making it more straightforward to connect actions and policies with outcomes and costs, facilitating the design and tracking of nationally determined contributions (NDCs), and providing a more consistent and structured approach to data collection and assessment.

TraCAD provides countries with the following main functionalities:

  • Data collection and management
  • GHG impact assessment
  • Marginal abatement cost assessment
  • Tracking climate actions
  • Greenhouse gas inventories
  • Compatibility with the IPCC Inventory Software

 

Combine with the ICAT Transport Pricing Methodology:

The Transport Pricing Methodology helps policymakers assess the impacts of pricing policies in the transport sector and improve their effectiveness.
