Transport Decarbonisation Alliance

The Transport Decarbonization Alliance (TDA) brings together leading cities, companies and countries to accelerate the worldwide transformation of the transport sector towards a net-zero emission mobility system before 2050. The TDA builds on statements of intent by those Heads of States, Mayors and CEOs that have expressed their intent to decarbonize before 2050. It targets all transport emissions from all modes of passenger mobility and freight transport. The Alliance aims to become the most visible, creative and effective nexus of public/private cooperation to allow the transport sector to meet the Paris Agreement objectives. 

The event, hosted by the Netherland’s State Secretary for Infrastructure and Water Management, will present the Alliance, its objectives, members’ activities as well as the Alliance’s work program.  

See details about the event on the GCAS calendar. You can register to the event here on Eventbrite.
