11 Government solutions often promote motorization

12 Many drivers are behind this trend

13 Much of Asia is growing out not up Source: Perera and Permani, 2012

14 Energy subsidies help lock in these trends

17 Economic Social Environmental Mitigate Greenhouse Gas License Plate Schemes Public Transport Upgrades Co benefits

18 Four Options Do nothing: business as usual Invest in roads and infrastructure Control transport demand (road pricing, license plate schemes) Improve public transport (buses, metros, and subways)

26 Key Messages Transport will have a big impact on climate change But transport is first and foremost about development There is a reason sustainability comes before low carbon This is the same reason we need to turn over the approach to co benefits ASI nicely summarizes key elements of a sustainable low carbon transport strategy Many parts of Asia are in a good position to introduce these elements There is a potential to get support from the international climate regime

27 2. Climate Finance and Transport

28

29 In 1994, would begin a series of COP meetings

30 What does a meeting in Warsaw have to do with transportation in your city?

31 The Kyoto Protocol (1997) Commits Annex I parties to targets and timetables Average 5% off 1990 levels by Basket of six GHGs

32 The Kyoto Surprise (1997)

33 The CDM in Theory

34

35 CDM Barriers Low revenue relative to investment Investment often led by public sector Multiple small sources Transaction costs

36 Key messages The Kyoto protocol was developed out of the UNFCCC It employed a top down approach with targets and timetables for Annex 1 countries Though the CDM was more bottom up in orientation It did not fit well with the transport sector

37 3. MRVing Transport NAMAs

38

39 The Bali Action Plan 1(b)(ii): Nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs) Finance Capacity building Technology in a measurable, reportable and verifiable (MRV) manner

40 The Copenhagen Accord (2010 ) NAMAs Immediate financing 30 USD billion Unilateral 2020 Green Climate Fund 100 USD billion per year M Supported Finance Capacity building R Credited Technology V

41 How can transport get access to a greater share of climate finance. Billion dollars Green Climate Fund Voluntary pledge of 10 billion dollars between Scaling up to $100 billion dollars by
