PPMC launches Key Messages on Transport and Climate Change for COP23

Nov 9, 2017

The key messages were developed through consultative processes, including a comprehensive survey and a consultative meeting, with a broad range of stakeholders that include business sector, civil society, development community and public sector. The 6 key messages are:

  • Decarbonization of all modes of transport by 2050 is possible, but action is needed now;
  • Action on low carbon transport supports eight of the Sustainable Development Goals
  • Investments in sustainable, low carbon, resilient transport offer great value for money;
  • Innovative solutions have the potential to transform current transport systems into efficient, low carbon people-orientated solutions;
  • Sustainable transport will be essential for countries to deliver on their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs); and
  • The global transport community stands ready to support countries, cities and companies action on climate change and development

These key messages will contribute to a more visible position for transport at COP23, and strengthen the effort of the inclusion of all stakeholders for transport and related sectors in the discussions in the UNFCCC.
