Transport and Climate Change


The transport sector contributes to 23% of energy-related CO2 emissions and is the fastest growing sector in terms of GHG emissions in developing countries.

To encourage international action and to slow down this growth, GTZ, Veolia Transport, UITP and TRL have decided to join forces to encourage the recognition that transport can and should play in mitigating GHG emissions. Together we hope to achieve that a Post 2012 Agreement will be fully applicable to the sustainable land transport sector.
Partnership
The initiative is strengthened further by contributing to the Sustainable Low Carbon Transport Partnership, of which all Bridging the Gap members are a part.
