This product contains a database of mitigation potential studies to assess opportunities to reduce the future growth in transport emissions relative to business-as-usual (BAU) baselines (as established under the product described previously). These studies include projections of transport sector mitigation potential (supported by specific low-carbon transport mitigation strategies), which are crucially broken down by sub-sector (e.g. road, railways, waterways, aviation) to help to identify areas that require the greatest degree of intervention to meet transport emission targets.
This Databases contains an overview of National Communications (NCs) and Biennial Update Reports (BURs) from a wide range of Annex I and non-Annex I countries (including historic and projected transport emissions as a share of economy-wide emissions). Information is collected directly from NCs and BURs, and includes transport emissions baselines, historic and projected growth disaggregated by passenger and freight activity, noting any economy-wide or transport-specific emissions targets and any transport sector related mitigation policies identified within NCs.
Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) are a new legally binding instrument under the UNFCCC. INDCs document the action that countries (both Annex 1 and non-Annex 1) will take on climate change. The SLoCaT Partnership is compiling a database of INDCs as they are submitted, seen through the lens of the transport sector. INDCs represent a bottom-up, nationally determined process, based on this they have the potential to drive progress in countries, especially in the global south, towards more pro-active climate policies.
In order to map out different stakeholders working on rural transport issues, the SLoCaT Partnership started the development of a Rural Transport Stakeholder Database. The stakeholder database specifically focuses on those organizations working on rural transport issues at regional and global levels.
