This report outlines the complete methodological framework for the Transport Decarbonisation Index (TDI), covering all essential elements for assessing a country, including indicators, normalisation, weighting and aggregation approaches. It details the calculation methods at every level of the TDI, such as indicators, dimensions and the overall composite score. Following the assessment, the TDI supports informed policy making by offering illustrative, non-prescriptive policy guidance. The TDI will be made accessible through a spreadsheet toolkit.
The TDI methodology report provides a comprehensive explanation for specific types of end users, namely researchers and practitioners, offering detailed background information on how the TDI functions. It includes calculation methods, a final list of indicators and high-level strategies to address data gaps.
