4 Paradigm shift on development of Transport Predict and Provide Build Roads to promote economic and social development Then Road safety 1.3 million deaths Air Pollution 3 million deaths (large part transport) Climate change transport GHG fast growing Congestion Access not inclusive large groups no access (urban and rural) Negative externalities of old paradigm: 6-10% of GDP at least 50 Trllion USD up to 2030 Access: (Avoid + Shift + Improve) Now Expand/Improve Transport infrastructure and services Avoid unnecessary motorized transport Shift Transport to most effective mode (people and goods) : + + Improve environmental performance transport Economic benefits of new paradigm: 70 Trillion USD up to 2050 (International Energy Agency/2012) Trillion USD up to 2050 (ITDP/ 2014)

5 Funding needs for Transport Trillions are needed not Billions!

6 Asian Cities have a Mass Transit Deficit Asian Transport Ministers Meeting, November 2013 It is unrealistic for limited public sector funding to provide needed investments within the required timeframe, even if complemented by contributions from end users, official development assistance, and climate finance Global Agreement on Sustainable Development or Climate Change without means of implementation is NOT a good agreement

7 Proposed Round Tables on Private Sector Financing for Sustainable Transport Planned round table, facilitated by EBRD Date: 25 March, 2015 Location: London Planned round table, facilitated by Konrad Adenauer Foundation Date: May/ June, 2015 Location: Shanghai Round table, Latin America CAF Date: TBD Location: TBD Round table, Africa Location: TBD Date: TBD

8 Key Stakeholders for Private Sector Financing Round Tables PPP units in emerging and developing countries MDBs and bilateral development organizations, Climate finance institutions under the UNFCCC, or outside the convention, Private sector organizations that are implementing transport projects in developing and emerging countries; Private sector financial institutions, often banks, that are already funding transport Institutional investors, which so far have a limited involvement in funding transport projects in developing countries; Knowledge providers and process facilitators on private sector financing of sustainable transport; and Advocacy organizations on sustainable transport

9 Themes for First London Round Table on Sustainable Urban Transport (1) Current Status/Trends of Private Sector Financing Sustainable Urban Transport private sector involvement helping with the delivery of the ideal of integrated transport with seamless accessible transit journeys the scale of current funding needs for sustainable urban transport, and how must current funding flows be modified to meet future investment needs

10 Themes for First London Round Table on Sustainable Urban Transport (2) Defining incentives for optimal private sector involvement in sustainable urban transport role of the public sector in creating incentives to attract private sector involvement Differences between private sector stakeholders (public sector banks, private sector banks, and institutional investors) implications PPP Units, MDBs, etc. private component of infrastructure PPPs is not always private risk reduction strategies (e.g. credit enhancement, asset securitization) be applied to enhance the quantity and quality of PPPs on sustainable urban transport

11 Themes for First London Round Table on Sustainable Urban Transport (3) Can global processes on climate change and sustainable development accelerate private sector involvement in sustainable transport finance post-2015 agenda and SDGs be used to define transport projects in a different manner, different assessment methodology monetizing social benefits (reduced air pollution, improved safety) lessons learned from the social sector for delivering transport PPPs based on non-traditional benefits How to use growing climate finance in best manner to catalyze sustainable urban transport If sustainable transport is to move forward, do we need more of the same kind of projects, or must we increase range/breadth (e.g. pathfinder PPPs)

12 Themes for First London Round Table on Sustainable Urban Transport (4) Optimal strategies to facilitate scaling up private sector in financing of sustainable transport roles of MDBs and bilaterals? Project aggregation help to drive greater private sector involvement (e.g. use of infrastructure funding facilities for transport, bond issuance) in sustainable urban transport? How to free up long-term MDB loans to allow faster reinvestment (assuming sufficient institutional capacity) and spur transformational change? How can MDBs/IFIs/bilaterals leverage broader sources of capital (e.g. climate bonds, institutional investors)?

13 We need to change the way we plan our cities, the way we move goods and ourselves SG Ban Ki-moon, October 2013 Thank you! Cornie Huizenga
