Partnership on Sustainable Low Carbon Transport

The emphasis of the 2009-2010 Work Program for SLoCaT was on: (a) building the organization. This included a survey among the membership of SLoCaT, and (b) to make a start with activities on:

Transport data and GHG assessment

• Surveys were initiated by ADB and IDB on availability and quality of national transport data in Asia and Latin America.
• A contact group on transport data was established to promote future coordination on transport data

Post 2012 Climate Instruments and their applicability to the transport sector

• SLoCaT through the conveners office and a number of its members conducted a comprehensive study on the applicability of post 2012 climate instruments to the transport sector .
• The Bridging the Gap initiative, which under the SLoCaT Partnership takes the lead on integrating climate change and transport in the climate negotiations produced a number of position paper, especially on NAMAs. 

Financing of sustainable, low carbon transport in developing countries
