TRANSfer – 8 key messages and approaches
Objective: Support decision makers to develop climate strategies in
transport as Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs)
1. Offer attractive carbon investment opportunities in the transport
sector, based on the Avoid-Shift-Improve approach
2. Provide bankable solutions in all sub-sectors (urban passenger
transport, inter-urban passenger transport, freight transport and
logistics, domestic aviation and shipping, rail, vehicle and fuel techn.)
3. Ensure sound inter-ministerial coordination in all stages of design
and implementation of transport NAMAs,
with Ministers of Transport as central key players

TRANSfer – 8 key messages and approaches
4. Allow for active participation of private sector and civil society
through multi-stakeholder workshops
5. Provide simple yet comprehensive and solid
methodologies for MRV of transport NAMAs
6. Offer capacity building to partner countries
on sustainable transport options for future transport NAMAs
7. Create a platform to allow matching of transport NAMA proposals
with funding opportunities
8. Spread the news about transport NAMAs via a network for
dissemination of good practices and lessons learned
