We study anomalous transport phenomena induced by phase-space Berry curvature. For that purpose we construct a kinetic theory in $2d$ phase space when all abelian Berry curvatures are nonzero. We derive anomalous currents by calculating the complete form of the Poisson brackets of phase space coordinates. Then we construct the low-energy effective theory to reproduce the anomalous currents obtained from the kinetic theory. Such an effective theory is given by the Chern-Simons theory in $1+2d$ dimensions. Some implications of the Chern-Simons theory are also discussed.
