Partnership on Sustainable Low Carbon Transport

Rio+20 is a conference about implementation, and an important part of that is making and delivering commitments. Commitments are invited from various stakeholders, including business and industry, other Major Group organizations, associations, academic institutions, philanthropic organizations, UN entities, partnerships involving more than one stakeholder, and Member States. These will be compiled into an online compendium of commitments on the Rio+20 website.

SLoCaT is actively supporting the initiative by several of its members as well as other organizations to develop Voluntary Commitments related to Sustainable Transport. Such Voluntary Commitments support and give meaning to the campaign of SLoCaT to ensure that the Rio+20 conference will act as a catalyst for the scaling up and mainstreaming of sustainable transport in developing and emerging economies.
