This first Transport and Climate Change Expert day is welcome at COP 18, Doha. It allows Parties and other interested experts to discuss transport-related climate change issues in greater detail than at the official side events which are limited to 90 minutes. The programme will frame the problem, share the latest thinking especially in Transport NAMAs (t-NAMAs), policy and technological developments and outline possible opportunities for transport within the present negotiations. It will also propose key messages that will require further support from Parties.
