Enhancing Ambition and Transparency in the Next Round of NDCs – Good Practices from the Transport Sector

The GIZ-Project “Mobilize-Net-Zero: Facilitating the Global Transport Transformation”, commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) , has published a valuable resource with six recommendations to support policymakers in aligning the transport sector with the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Agenda: 

  1. Shifting the mobility paradigm towards zero-carbon targets for 2050 
  1. Ensuring the resilience of transport systems 
  1. Empowering cities with national support 
  1. Investing in sustainable rail, inland shipping and multimodal hubs 
  1. Enhancing efficiency in freight and logistics 
  1. Accelerating electrification with renewable energy 

The study highlights good practices in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Long-Term Strategies (LTS) of thirteen countries (Andorra, Bangladesh, Barbados, China, Costa Rica, India, Latvia, Malawi, Moldova, Namibia, Oman, Sri Lanka, Vanuatu) in relation to each of the recommendations.
