Side Event at COP21: “Linking ambition to action- Success factors for low carbon development pathways in transport sectors”

The side event will be organized by the Transport Research Foundation (TRF) and Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP). Once countries have agreed on INDCs and mitigation targets in December, the next big challenge is to put in place policies and measures that satisfy these ambitions. Policy makers/ implementers will discuss success factors for moving from concept to implementation in low carbon transport policies.

Side Event at COP21 “4th International Expert Workshop-Next steps in MRV Support for Transport NAMAs"

Background

TRANSfer is a GIZ project funded through the International Climate Initiative by the German Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety. The project supports the development of nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs) in the transport sector and their implementation in partner countries and contributes to international dialogues on NAMA development (www.transport-namas.org).

Side Event at COP21: Subnational Cooperation on Clean, Resilient Transportation through Zero Emission Vehicles and More

The side event will be organized by Georgetown University and Climate Action Reserve. Achieving climate goals requires conversion of transportation to zero/near-zero emission vehicles, clean fuels and non-motorized travel. California and others are collaborating and have set targets to speed this conversion. Panelists will discuss technical/policy issues and unveil a new initiative.
