2 Transport NAMAs Sustainable Transport Policy Measure CO 2 (MRV) Transport NAMA What types exist? Unilateral Supported (Credited) What is the scope? Targets Strategies Policies and programmes Individual projects Page 2

3 Sectoral distribution of NAMAs under development Total of 35 NAMA activities Source: Ecofys Annual Status Report on NAMAs (11/2012) Page 3

4 Potential NAMAs in the Transport Sector Avoid Urban land use planning Economic development around railway corridors Green Logistics, avoid empty haulage Reduction of subsidies / (Fuel Tax) Shift Non-motorized transport infrastructure High quality public transport Road Pricing Parking Management Improve Fuel Economy Standards Regulation on Truck design Eco-Driving Campaign Page 4

5 MRV Co-Benefits Innovation Potential Why Transport NAMAs? International Recognition Access to support Page 5

6 TRANSfer - Towards Climate-Friendly Transport Technologies and Measures

7 Overview of Partner Countries South Africa Department of Transport and Department of Environmental Affairs Potential NAMAs have been identified (BRT, Gautrain, NMT, ) Work is oriented towards Transport Flagship Programme within the White Paper National Climate Change Response Colombia NAMA Heavy duty vehicle renovation scheme ready for implementation Indonesia NAMA Sustainable Urban Transport Initiative with 4 pilot cities Further NAMA on aviation under consideration Page 7

8 Jumping on the NAMA-train is possible at different project stages Green field: Establishing new Initiatives (Indonesia) Upscaling of existing initiatives: geographically, conceptually, in number (South Africa, Columbia) Labeling of running projects / programs (South Africa, Columbia) Page 8

9 How can African countries benefit? Handbook Navigating Transport NAMAs Regional exchange (e.g. African Regional Workshop on NAMAs 11/2011, Nairobi) Bridging the Gap Initiative Learning by doing Vast stock of materials and training (e.g. transport and climate change) Page 9

11 Panel Discussion NAMAs as a vehicle to bridge the gap between Transport and Climate Change? What are your experiences with Transport NAMAs? Do you intend to develop Transport NAMAs? Which co-benefits would motivate you to develop a Transport-NAMA? NAMAs versus CDM: What's the difference from a transport sector perspective? Page 11
