Subject: Event: Getting the climate right for transport
 Transport side event at COP 13, Bali Indonesia
Organized by TRL/GTZ, UITP, UIC, ITPS

The German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) will host a side event titled "Getting
the climate right for transport" at the United Nations Climate Change
Conference (COP 13) in Bali. The event will be in cooperation with the
Transport Research Laboratory (UK), UITP, UIC and Institution for Transport
Policy Studies (Japan).

The event will discuss future pathways to a more sustainable transport
system along with options for decision-makers to integrate climate change
mitigation measures into the transport sector.

The event will take place on 7th and 8th December, 2007 from 1 to 3 pm in
the Tidal Room at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

The event will combine practical as well as methodological approaches with
actual experience on sustainable transportation. The draft program is on our
SUTP website at www.sutp.org .

At this event Mr. Manfred Breithaupt (GTZ) and Mr. Holger Dalkmann (TRL)
will present the new sourcebook module titled "Transport and Climate
Change", which is the latest publication in the GTZ Sustainable Urban
Transport series, and discuss available instruments to reduce carbon dioxide
emissions in the transport sector.

The module summarises the challenges that climate change mitigation has to
face in the transport sector and presents the major options and instruments
available to deal with them. The module also explains the various
sustainable transport policy and planning options and sketches out their
potential for reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
With the new module, the GTZ Sustainable Urban Transport Sourcebook now has
26 modules focussing on various issues of transportation. All the modules
are available to download from the SUTP websites at no cost (
http://www.sutp.org and http://www.sutp.cn for Chinese users).
