Transport - SLoCaT - was established to provide opportunities for
coordination and cooperation among organizations working on sustainable, low
carbon transport. The goal of the Partnership is to get transport into the
heart of the COP15 agenda. World Streets and the New Mobility Agenda are
proud to support this most timely initiative.

Transport in developing countries is the one of the largest, and fastest
growing, source of GHG emissions. At the same time transport is largely
missing in climate change mitigation policies and actions worldwide. This is
linked to an overall lack of sustainability expressed by poor urban
planning, increased motorization, increased air pollution and noise, growing
congestion and decreasing road safety.
