Dear Friends,

 

I would like to draw your attention to a program of the United Nations
Environment Program which directly targets the matters which bring us
together  in this form, brining together some outstanding cities and
hands-on innovators. The project address opens at
http://uneprisoe.org/NESTLAC/index.htm in English, and then goes on to
report for the most part in Spanish (but you always have our translation
tools for that if needed).  A short description of the program taken
from the site follows:

 

With all good wishes,

 

Eric 

 

PS. Is your program/group listed in our World Inventory Sustainability
Resources?  Check it out at http://newmobility.org and if you’re not
there it would be good to have your link and a short summary of mission,
objectives, etc.

Network for Environmentally Sustainable Transport in Latin America and
the Caribbean (NESTLAC)


Overview
Project website <http://nestlac.org> 
Project Intranet <http://nestlac.org/intra> 

The aim of NESTLAC is to disseminate, promote and facilitate the
implementation of Environmentally Sustainable Transport (EST) options in
Latin America and the Caribbean. 

The Network will promote the switch from private cars to public and
non-motorised transport, leading thereby to reductions of both local and
global emissions from the sector. NESTLAC will serve as the mechanism
through which all the necessary activities to disseminate, promote and
facilitate the implementation of EST options will be carried out.

Initial members of NESTLAC are the Environmental Authority of Panama
(ANAM), the Transit and Road Transport Authority of Panama (ATTT), the
Chilean Inter-ministerial Secretariat for Planning and
<http://www.sectra.cl>  Transport (SECTRA), the Municipality of
Guatemala City, the Transit and Transport Authority of El Salvador, the
Vice-Ministry of Transport of El Salvador, Transmilenio S.A. of Bogotá,
the Trolley-bus System of Quito and URC.

NESTLAC is funded by the Global <http://www.gefweb.org>  Environment
Facility (GEF), the United <http://www.unep.org>  Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) <http://www.unep.org>  and URC.
