Enhancing Climate Ambition in Transport - Six Action Recommendations for Policymakers

187 countries signed the Paris Agreement and committed themselves to robust climate action. In 2020, they are expected to submit revised national action plans – known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). These plans are an opportunity to ramp up commitments and create strategies that are ambitious enough to avert climate change.
Particularly the transport sector remains a key source of concern. Vehicle emissions continue to rise in most countries and many officials still struggle to find the information that is needed to translate their plans into concrete measures. Against this backdrop, we have compiled six action recommendations for those working on climate action in the transport sector.

Moderated by Nadja Taeger from GIZ, this webinar focused on how to enhance climate ambitions in transport.
It featured presentations from Marion Vieweg, a senior consultant who focuses on energy, transport, and climate strategies and the co-author of the study itself, and Mark Major of SLOCAT, a transport expert and senior advisor, who spoke about SLOCAT's NDC database and advocacy campaign.
