Transport contributes about one quarter of all energy related CO2 emissions and about 15-17% of all anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Under a business-as-usual scenario, transport related CO2 emissions could grow from 6-7 gigatonnes to 16-18 gigatonnes by 2050. Against such a backdrop, the target and timeline set by the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (translating to an overall net-zero emission economy soon after 2050) are challenging and require bold actions towards a systemic transformation of the transport sector.

The Transport Thematic Day will be held on Saturday 11^th November 2017 in Bonn, Germany. The event is organized by the Marrakech Partnership on Global Climate Action (MP-GCA) transport content group consisting of  ITF, PPMC, UIC and UITP.
