The vital effects of traffic & traffic rules in a dynamic environment on climate change & public health City Traffic System – Lets Renew Our Driving License By: Karim Soliman Feb City Traffic System –Karim Soliman

General Outline Intro Climate change & CO2 Emission Public health (Mortalities) from road accident. Egypt to focus on % of CO2 Emission due to road transport (traffic). Mortalities due to road transport. Solutions For Climate change it’s time to focus only on adaptation For Mortalities caused by road transport – It’s is time to work together and solve this problem by education & awareness.

What’s climate change & CO2 emission? Important green house gas – absorb heat and reflect sun light. Increased significantly with industrial revolution (1750). IPCC 2007, water levels due to increase of temperature & melt of ice + strange changes in weather. Reducing CO2 emission will only reduce the destructive effects of climate change.

Mortalities due to road transport! High especially in countries of low socioeconomic situations. Many factors contribute to it e.g. traffic rules & road safety.

Percentage of carbon dioxide emitted from road transport in Egypt? I couldn’t find any study or data to show a direct number. However we can estimate it roughly using the following methodology.

The data are collected from the International Energy Agency (IEA) & the (DEFRA) Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, UK

England: 22% of emitted CO2 result from road (motor) transport. Oil & Liquefied petrol consumption in road transport or motors = tones Total oil consumption: tones Therefore, % of oil used for road (motor) transport = 41.2 %

Egypt: Oil & Liquefied petrol consumption in road transport or motors = 2952 Total oil consumption: Therefore, % of oil used for road (motor) transport = % Less then 8% may be 4% of emitted CO2 result from road (motor) transport.

Solution to reduce the emitted CO2 from road transport? Use bicycles – an environment friendly mean of transportation. Encourage public transportation. TATAPrevent TATA from our markets.

TATA® Automobiles Ultra low cost vehicle2500$

The most important thing in the problem of climate change? Focus on adaptation! ▫Building new cities. ▫Using biotechnology to increase production of crops & compensate land losses.

Mortalities due road transport in Egypt!

Some statistics according to Al-Ahram weekly paper. Financial losses caused by traffic accidents -- estimated at LE1 billion a year -- include damaged vehicles, health care, hospital fees and lost working hours. Zeinab Mohamed is sitting on the curb of the insanely congested intersection of 26th of July Street and Al-Galaa Street in downtown Cairo waiting for the number 85 bus. Doesn't she think this is a dangerous spot to wait? "If an accident happens, then it's God's will," she answers. According to official statistics, 73 per cent of road traffic accidents in Egypt in 2003 were a result of human error. Contrary to what Mohamed believes, therefore, accidents can be avoided. By: Shereef Sonbol® Al-Ahram

Passive actions! The National Council for Road Safety (NCRS) was established in 2001 and became operational in The council's mandate is to integrate all governmental and non- governmental efforts in the conceptualization of a national plan to combat road accidents in Egypt.

Future predictions!!

It’s is time to work together and solve this problem by education & awareness. Start a wide awareness based on well trusted educational materials to teach people traffic rules. GEF Conference – Stand up with our deep interest to improve our situation “remember 2010”. Spread the message everywhere because people are already in need for a solution – The success of a solution is directly proportional to the number of failures. Non governmental efforts are very important today & in future. After 30 years all those who are responsible will be “we”.

A story I want to share with you!

Lets form groups of students! Why? Write a scientific reports about this/other issue(s) and produce modern educational materials to teach people traffic rules. Lets spread well trusted readable resources. ▫Original Science Text Books. ▫Trusted websites. ▫Learn computer & English. Start from next meeting presentations which teach us here some efficient traffic rules to solve some of our daily problems “at least we can solve others problems when do the right thing”.
