| description | This comparative analysis identified disproportions in the CBA methodologies of selected countries in the scope of GHG emissions and their economic value in assessing transport projects in Slovakia and selected Central European countries. This study identifies the disparities in CBA methodologies in the Slovak Republic in the field of greenhouse gases. It proposes specific measures for improving the methodology itself, the use of best practices from CBA methodologies in selected countries, and discusses the possible implementation of the latest standards in the field of greenhouse gases and their economic value. These steps can objectify the calculated economic value of climate change for policymakers and decision-makers on transport infrastructure investments. The proposed measures for the modification and supplementation of the CBA methodology in the Slovak Republic in the field of GHG emission assessments after their implementation can objectify the CBA results for this sector and can bring more realistic results for the process of assessing the implementation of transport construction in road transport. The paper contains a case study for the calculation of GHG emissions from road transport, their economic value, and their disproportion in case of changes in the CBA methodology in the Slovak Republic for the assessment of road transport projects. |
