The UNSG Climate Action Summit will be held on 23 September at United Nations Headquarters in New York. The Summit is a key milestone in the international community’s work towards sincere, renewed, and ambitious climate action. The SLoCaT Partnership, in coordination with a number of key partners and members, is leading the transport sub-track of the “Infrastructure, Cities and Local Action” track of the Summit.

We are pleased to announce the new Board of Directors elected by SLoCaT, the Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport which will support, oversee and advance the work of the Partnership in the next three years. This new Board brings together an extraordinary wealth of expertise across the transport and mobility, energy, climate and cities sectors.

An independent Election Committee chaired by Mr. Lew Fulton (UC-Davis) and aided by Ms. Glynda Bathan (Clean Air Asia) and Mr. Henry Kamau (Sustainable Transport Africa) monitored the elections and counted the ballots.

At the Annual Summit 2019 of the International Transport Forum, the roundtable on transport and climate released a joint statement expressing the need to achieve low emissions in the transport sector. The joint statement can be found here.

In December 2018, the Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport (SLoCaT) published the first global report tracking the progress of transport on climate change. The Transport and Climate Change 2018 Global Status Report (TCC-GSR) brings together information streams on transport and climate change.

The Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport (SLoCaT) and the Volvo Research and Educational Foundations (VREF) are launching the Young Leaders in Sustainable Transport programme.

In December 2018, the Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport (SLoCaT) published the first global report tracking the progress of transport on climate change. The Transport and Climate Change 2018 Global Status Report (TCC-GSR) brings together information streams on transport and climate change.

The roadmap for low carbon and sustainable mobility in India kicked off in November 2018 under the aegis of PPMC, with the support of WWF in collaboration with FICCI and funded by the Michelin Foundation. The project formed in early 2019 a working group for each of the eight roadmap components. A couple of working group meetings have been already held, such as two meetings on Component 2 (low-carbon energy supply) in February 2019, a meeting on Component 5 (avoid vehicle kilometers) in March 2019 and Component 8 (economic instruments and finance) in February 2019.
