1 Scaled-up Sustainable Transport in support of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development Cornie Huizenga Secretary General Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport Role of Climate Friendly Transport Systems in Promoting Inclusive Growth May 15 th st Annual Meeting IDBG Jakarta, Indonesia

2 Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport (SLoCaT) 100 Members: International Organizations Government Development Banks NGOs Private Sector - Academe Mission: Integrate Sustainable Transport in Global Policies on Sustainable Development and Climate Change SLoCaT Foundation: Established in 2014 with sole objective to support the functioning of the SLoCaT Partnership

3 4 Key Global Processes targeted by SLoCaT and PPMC in 2016 Implementation of Paris Agreement on Climate Change Implementation of 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda (SDGs) Habitat III 14 th United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

4 SLoCaT and Global Processes on Transport Sustainable Development $175,000,000,000 For More Sustainable Transport SG High Level Advisory Group on Sustainable Transport Climate Change Habitat III SLoCaT Key Messages on Sustainable Transport Quito Action Plan on Sustainable Urban Transport Trade and Development UNCTAD SLoCaT Ministerial Round Table on Sustainable Transport UNCTAD Expert Group on Sustainable Transport

5 Transport and the SDGs Transport mainstreamed in 8 SDGs Grow Transport - Access Targets to improve rural and urban access + regional connectivity Do transport differently - sustainability Targets aimed strengthening sustainability: safety, pollution, congestion, climate

6 Paris Agreement on Climate Change Transport Implications Global Transport CO2 (Gt) Moving to a target of well below the two-degree Celsius scenario (2DS) and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius Transport 2DS Transport 1.5DS Transport BAU

7 Regional Implications 2 and 1.5 Degree Scenario Growth from 2010 to % 178% 150% 121% 100% BAU 2DS 1.5DS 89% 72% 50% 37% 51% 52% 33% 34% 0% -50% -6% -9% -46% -47% -62% -63% 15% 14% -19% -20%-17% -49% -64% -10% -37% -6% 7% -24% -100% OECD Americas OECD Europe Bunker Eurasia OECD Asia Oceania Non-OECD Asia Latin America Middle East Africa Source : SLoCaT computations based on International Energy Agency (2012), World Energy Outlook 2012 & UNEP, The Emission Gap Report 2015

8 What are Governments Doing: Transport and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) Decarbonising Fuel (e.g. biofuels) Bus Improvements/BRT E-mobility Fuel Economy Measures (e.g. eco-driving) Metro Rail Improvements Green Freight Measures Vehicle Restrictions Fuel Economy Standards Inspection & Maintenance Road Improvements Fuel Quality & Vehicle Emission Standards Mobility Plans Fuel Subsidy Removal Land Use/Urban Form High-Income Middle-Income Low-Income Intelligent Transport Systems 2- & 3-Wheelers Parking Reform % of NDCs call for mitigation action on transport 10% of INDCs include transport emission reduction target 14% of INDCs specify emission reduction potential 61% of INDCs propose mitigation measures Emphasis on Technological Improve measure and urban transport Mitigation ambition level falls far short of 2 DS

9 What are Non-State Actors doing: Lima Paris Action Agenda (LPAA) Transport Initiatives 15 Transport Initiatives covering all modes of transport and all major regions PPMC formally acknowledged as convener of December 3 rd Transport Focus Collectively the Transport Initiatives can impact one in two trips (passenger and freight) by 2025 Full Implementation of the LPAA Transport Initiatives can save up to 100 Trillion USD by 2050

10 LPAA Transport Initiatives and NDCs: Good Fit Global Green Freight Action Plan orld Cycling Alliance (WCA) and European Cyclists Federation (ECF) Commitment MobiliseYourCity Low Carbon Road and Road Transport Initiative (LC2RTI) ITS for Climate Navigating a Changing Climate The UIC Low Carbon Sustainable Rail Transport Challenge Aviation s Climate Action Takes Off Airport Carbon Accreditation Urban Electric Mobility Initiative ZEV Alliance Global Fuel Economy Initiative Worldwide Taxis Initiative UITP Declaration on Climate Change Leadership C40 Clean Bus Declaration No of NDCs Definate Confirmation Probable or Indirect

11 Moving Sustainable Transport forward in 2016 Develop a Global Narrative on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport that supports short medium and long term action Common Framework setting out Goals on Transport, Sustainable Development and Climate Change Global Roadmap to decarbonize transport sector Quick Win Actions to encourage short term action to kick start the transformation of the transport sector

12 Common Framework on Transport, Climate Change and Sustainable Development 4 Possible Goals as part of global Transport Narrative Differentiated pathways to realize goals for developed and developing countries

13 Road Map for Decarbonizing the Transport Sector in the Context of Sustainable Development Roadmap for a zero net emission economy early in the second part of the century, to secure a well below 2 C climate target called for in Paris Agreement 1 7 Investment in adaptation & offsetting Synergistic urban transformation 8 Low-carbon energy supply strategy 2 Make innovation take center stage Avoid, Shift, Improve, 6 Adapted solutions for rural world 5 Unnecessary travel reduction Financial & regulatory tools Shortened supply chains Modal efficiency improvement 4 3 Key Building Blocks are NOW in place already More Ambitious than IEA 2DS Institutional Synergy & Simultaneity

14 Quick Win Actions Criteria for Quick Win Actions: Common Framework Quick Win Actions Can be implemented in period Substantial sustainable development and climate change benefits Tested at scale Replicable across regions Contributes to long term transformation Cost effective positive economic returns Spurs action in passenger and freight transport Global Road map for decarbonizing transport sector /2080 Accelerate global phase-out of fossil fuel subsidies Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning Tighten fuel economy standards Sustainable freight recognition schemes

15 Summary - SLoCaT Follow-up Build Consensus on Common Framework + Tracking Framework, Global Road Map and Quick Wins Get Buy in from all key stakeholders, including national and local government and private sector Develop medium term strategy to mobilize action in support of NDCs, LPAA, Habitat III and UNCTAD 14 Governance: strengthen and expand existing coalitions on sustainable transport, where helpful create new institutional arrangements
