PPMC launches Key Messages on Transport and Climate Change for COP23
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.
