Dear Colleague,

The EcoMobility Alliance Partners, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) are hosting a webinar on Greenhouse gas reduction potential in the transport sector – how to shift to a 2 degree pathway?

Programme
Transport is a key enabler of economic activity and social connectedness. While providing essential services to society and economy, transport is also an important part of the economy and it is at the core of a number of major sustainability challenges, in particu of a number of major sustainability challenges, in particular climate change, air quality, safety, energy security and efficiency in the use of resources. The transport sector currently accounts for about 6.7 Gigatonnes of CO2, which is equivalent to 23% of all energy related Greenhouse Gas emissions and is set to double by 2050 if current trends persist, in particular in emerging economies (IPCC 2014). Setting the transport sector on a low-carbon development pathway is essential for global climate change mitigation efforts that aim to stabilise global warming at 2 Degrees Celsius, which is the internationally agreed target under the United Nations Framework Conventions on Climate Change (UNFCCC). To contribute to
this target developed countries will have to rapidly decarbonise their transport sector over the coming decades (-80% by 2050) and developing and emerging countries will have to curb growth (+70% by 2050), which will require substantial policy action at all levels of government (IEA 2014). This webinar will explore the pathways for low-carbon transport and provide an overview on key policy measures at the local and national level. The webinar will be conducted by Oliver Lah (Wuppertal Institute).

Target audience
The webinar addresses decision-makers and planners, representatives from all levels of government, agencies and students interested in learning about how to achieve the necessary greenhouse gas emission reductions in the transport sector on a global level.

Registration and technical requirements
