Cameroon

The road transport sector in Cameroon is responsible for over 34% of the country’s total CO2 emissions. The continuous increase in the number of vehicles, particularly used ones, has increased fuel consumption and GHG emissions. In Yaoundé, the capital city, studies conducted as part of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) indicate that significant demographic growth, combined with the concentration of jobs and services in the central area, rising living standards, and increasing numbers of cars and motorbikes, could exacerbate traffic congestion, air pollution, road traffic accidents, and accessibility challenges. These complex challenges require comprehensive transformations of urban mobility, enhancing safety, health, and equitable access to amenities and services.
