ABSTRACT

The Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP), promoted by the Covenant of Mayor (CoM), is a key tool for policies aimed at reducing fossil fuel consumption and GHG emissions, in accordance with the Kyoto protocol and its updates. It is implemented at the municipal level and is constituted by a Baseline Emission Inventory (BEI) and a set of measures to be implemented (Action Plan, AP). In particular, the paper will investigate the “weight” of the transport sector in terms of emissions within the BEI and the relevance and the variety of its actions inserted in the AP.
