Rio+20 Commitment
USD 175 billion for transport in developing countries between 2012-2022
Eight Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) have targeted to provide more than US$175 billion of loans and grants for transport in developing countries between 2012-2022. This target is included in the MDBs’ Joint Statement of 2012 as one of the 17 Voluntary Commitments on Sustainable Transport during the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, also known as Rio 2012 (Rio+20).[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The June 2012 joint statement “Commitment to Sustainable Transport” was issued at the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development by the following institutions:

Conducted summary analysis of the Working Group’s achievements from 2012 to 2018 to outline:
- Identification of potentials to create systemic change in sustainable transport financing activities.
- Reflections on the need to further refine methodologies and common indicators for evaluation and reporting.
Conducted initial planning for a workshop:*
- Focus on transport good practices on road safety, climate change adaptation, Mobility-as-a-System in CAF member countries.
- Based on criteria developed by SLOCAT and consortium members (Despacio, UITP and WRI).
- Aligning good practices with economic, social, and environmental aspects with the potential to transform access for vulnerable persons.
*Workshop was cancelled by CAF, in its capacity of rotating chair for the Working Group, due to the global pandemic.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Progress reports and other resources” tab_id=”1602491922637-15477195-9884″][vc_column_text]

Engagement in EIB Climate Bank Roadmap 2021-2025
In November 2019, the EIB’s Board of Directors approved a new level of ambition for the EIB towards climate action and environmental sustainability. The EIB now needs to turn this ambition into reality and would like interested stakeholders to accompany it in developing its roadmap – the Climate Bank Roadmap 2021-2025 – that will guide this transition. The Climate Bank Roadmap will determine how the EIB Group will implement the new ambition over the period 2021 to 2025. The scope of this ambition is broad – touching upon the climate, environmental and social aspects underpinning sustainable development. Engagement on the Climate Bank Roadmap 2021-2025 will complement future public consultations, including most immediately the EIB transport lending policy and the EIB Environmental and Social Statement and the related Standards, which are due to start in 2020. The EIB is soliciting our views and inputs on how the Bank can best achieve its ambitions. This is certainly a critical opportunity for the sustainable, low carbon transport community to have an impact on the activities of the bank, especially as they relate to transport. SLOCAT has gathered inputs from partners as to make a collective transport contribution to the EIB process.
SLOCAT’s submission to the EIB Climate Bank Roadmap 2021-2025 Position Paper
This submission has been developed by the SLOCAT Partnership Secretariat with contributions from Climate Environment Services Group (CESG), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability, the International Association of Public Transport (UITP), the International Union of Railways (UIC), Kuehne Logistics University, MobiliseYourCity Partnership, POLIS, Rupprecht Consult, Transport and Environment, Walk21, World Resources Institute (WRI), World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and is made on behalf of all partners of SLOCAT. The submission was sent to the EIB on 24 April, in line with key deadlines. Please contact chris.dekki@slocatpartnership.org with any questions.

Joint Islamic Development Bank – Integrated Climate and Sustainability Actions
The Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) and the SLOCAT Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport are engaged in a multi-phase research collaboration on transport and climate change in IsDB member countries. The project addresses a number of challenges faced by IsDB member countries, including rapid urbanisation, rising motorisation rates, growing greenhouse gas emissions, climate change vulnerabilities, upstream capacity constraints and limited pipelines for infrastructure projects.
