Introduction The Paris Process on Mobility and Climate (PPMC) is an open and inclusive platform that was created, jointly by the Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport (SLoCaT) and Michelin Challenge Bibendum (MCB), to raise the profile of sustainable mobility and transport1 in discussions leading up to COP21 as well as during COP21. The PPMC aligns itself with the four objectives of the French Presidency of COP21: •
An ambitious, binding agreement on climate change that applies to all countries;
•
Intended national determined contributions (INDC) representing the targets that each country feels able to reach in terms of mitigation of, and adaptation to, climate change; •
Scaled-­‐up Climate finance in support of action on climate change; •
Action Agenda on Climate Change, as embodied in the Lima Paris Action Agenda (LPAA). The PPMC undertakes its activities through a combination of research, dialogue and advocacy activities. In certain cases the PPMC, represented through its Secretariat takes an active lead on activities, while in other cases it supports activities, led by others, including partners of the PPMC. The PPMC is providing active support to the Transport Action Area of the Lima Paris Action Agenda (LPAA), including helping the LPAA to facilitate the contribution of the LPAA Transport Initiatives to COP21. This includes a lead role of the PPMC in the programming of the Thematic half day session on Transport (‘The Transport Focus’) on December 3rd as part of the formal COP21 program. The SLoCaT Partnership, established in 2009, and MCB, established in 1998, represent jointly over 200 organizations representing a broad range of constituencies (UN organizations, multilateral and bilateral development organizations, businesses, civil society and academe, all working on the promotion and implementation of sustainable transport and mobility. Both the SLoCaT Partnership and MCB have a well-­‐respected track record on advocacy of sustainable mobility across the world. The PPMC gathers, coordinates and facilitates action on transport and climate change by the public and private sector as well as civil society and the development community, without giving preference to any of these four sectors. The PPMC is seeking active partnerships with other networks, initiatives and organizations working on transport and climate change with the aim to strengthen the collective voice of the sustainable transport community vis-­‐à-­‐vis the UNFCCC and COP21. 1 Both the terms transport and mobility are used in the document. It is understood that these relate to both the movement of goods and persons. Emphasis is being given to inter-­‐modality in promoting Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 3 Version September 9th 2015 The PPMC is launched as a time-­‐bound initiative and as it currently stands comes to an end in December 2015 at the end of COP212. Engaging in the PPMC does not represent any obligation for Partners or Sponsors vis-­‐à-­‐vis MCB or the SLoCaT Partnership. II.
Further Elaboration on PPMC Components
Activities under the PPMC are organized in four components: (a) Common Messages and Global Vision on Mobility and Climate; (b) Knowledge Products; (c) National, Regional, Global and Thematic Dialogues on Mobility and Climate; and (d) events during COP21. These components are supported by an active outreach and communications effort. A. Common Messages and Global Vision on Mobility and Climate
The PPMC is developing a set of common messages on mobility and climate aimed at the UNFCCC process and COP21 in Paris. This will make it possible for the transport and mobility sector to speak with one voice on the important contribution that sustainable mobility can make to the mitigation of and adaptation to, climate change. Key platforms for the common messages will be: • The Regional Dialogues that the PPMC will be conducting in Africa, Asia and Latin America; • The PPMC Website as well as outreach efforts by SLoCaT and MCB members; • The LPAA ‘Transport Focus’, during COP21 on 3 December • The High-­‐Level Action day of the LPAA on 5 December • PPMC Transport Day 2015 on 6 December. The development of the common messages on mobility and climate kicked off with an online survey3 in which respondents were asked to comment on a number of messages that focused on: • Ambition level: o Without a more active contribution from the transport sector it will not be possible to limit temperature increases below 2 Degree Celsius. The transport sector must have a share in pre-­‐2020 ambition • Approach: o An integrated approach that combines action to avoid GHG emissions, shift transport to most efficient mode and improve environmental performance of fuels and vehicles offers best potential to effectively reduce GHG emissions from transport o Sustainable development co-­‐benefits (urban health, congestion decrease…) need to be taken seriously if we want to advance action on Mobility and Climate. Action on transport is often taken for a combination of reasons and it is seldom that transport policy or investments are solely guided by climate change related reasons. It is important therefore to acknowledge sustainable development co-­‐benefits of action by the transport sector on climate change 2 An evaluation of the PPMC is planned for January 2016 following which it could be decided to extend joint action for a specified action agenda on well-­‐identified public/private initiatives. 3 The results of the survey are documented at: http://slocat.net/sites/default/files/ppmc_survey_summary-­‐_slocat_website_version__external_1.pdf Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 4 Version September 9th 2015 •
Policy: o Transport Policy matters in scaling up action on Mobility and Climate. Taking into account the results of the survey, and subsequent discussions it is now being considered to add messages on: •
Adaptation and Resilience: o A balanced approach is required between activities to mitigate GHG emissions from transport and activities that strengthen the resilience of the transport sector to climate change • Finance: o The acceleration of action on the mitigation of, and adaptation to, climate change requires substantive increases in dedicated transport related Climate Finance as well as re-­‐orientation of existing public and private funding, and funding from development organizations for low-­‐carbon transport • Action: o Transport Initiatives on Transport and Climate taken by sub-­‐national actors, like the ones under the LPAA, can accelerate action on transport and climate change • Technology and Innovation: o Many of the solutions that can reduce CO2 emissions from transport are available and tested at scale. Their implementation needs to be scaled up through enabling policy and financing frameworks o To achieve deep reductions in the transport sector additional innovation is required both in transport technologies as well as in the manner that such technologies can be fitted into equitable transport systems The aim is to end up with a maximum of 5-­‐7 messages. These will be documented on the PPMC website (http://ppmc-­‐cop21.org/common-­‐messages.html). For each of the messages a brief (less than 1 page) background and context will be given. The development of the messages benefit from the knowledge products on Mobility and Climate (see below) and will make use of earlier work by the SLoCaT Partnership and its members as well as earlier work by MCB (e.g. the MCB Chengdu Green Paper). The development of the common messages will be coordinated by the PPMC Communications Task Force, which is starting its activities in early September. Members of the SLoCaT Partnership and MCB as well as partners and sponsors of the PPMC will be invited to contribute to the finalization of the common messages. Care will be taken to ensure that the PPMC common messages are aligned with the LPAA narrative on Transport and Climate Change as well as other ongoing efforts to develop a narrative and messages on sustainable transport, including that by the Secretary General’s High Level Group on Sustainable Transport (HLAGST). B. Knowledge Products
Knowledge Products under the PPMC are divided in three categories: (a) Assessment in Support of Defining Transport Sector Mitigation Targets and Implementation Strategies; Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 5 Version September 9th 2015 (b) Finance and (c) Policy on the Mitigation of, and Adaptation to, Climate Change in the transport sector. Current knowledge products included are largely driven by ongoing work by the SLoCaT Partnership and MCB. Other organizations are actively encouraged to contribute relevant knowledge products. Key criteria for inclusion in the PPMC knowledge products are: (a) work should be relevant to the objectives of the PPMC; (b) work should be global – regional in nature; and (c) knowledge products should be recent work. In addition to the detailed knowledge products a bibliography will be added on the PPMC website of other relevant, studies as well as knowledge products with a national or local focus. 1. Knowledge Products on Assessment in Support of Defining Transport
Sector Mitigation Targets and Implementation Strategies
Maximizing national mitigation ambitions requires optimizing contributions from the transport sector. A recent SLoCaT analysis reveals that the transport sector is the largest energy consuming sector in 40% of countries worldwide, and in most remaining countries, transport is the second largest energy consuming sector. Transport, with an average annual growth rate of 2.0% from 1990-­‐2012, is among the fastest growing sectors of CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. Thus, any attempt at limiting global average temperature rise to less than 2°C without including the transport sector is infeasible. Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) are poised to play an integral role in the negotiations leading up to COP21. INDCs are intended to communicate country targets and strategies to reduce carbon emissions for the post-­‐2020 period, and each country faces a unique set of circumstances influencing reduction strategies, including socio-­‐economic development patterns, historic emission trajectories, and varying financing requirements. Since INDCs represent a bottom-­‐up, nationally determined process, they have the potential to drive progress in countries, especially in the global south, that are shaping emerging climate policies. INDCs may also give new life to NAMAs, by making them a critical short-­‐
term element to prepare for post-­‐2020 mitigation strategies. Starting in 2016, countries will have to operationalize the transport components of their INDCs, and thus will need a robust set of data, tools, and analysis to ensure that INDC targets are ultimately realized. To respond to this need, the PPMC is creating a knowledge base to assist both internal and external partners (e.g. national ministries and international supporting entities) in defining transport targets and implementing mitigation strategies. This knowledge base is captured in a set of knowledge products that are designed to add value to existing UNFCCC reporting protocols by emphasizing transport-­‐specific elements and incorporating expertise from funding agencies and research institutions. The proposed knowledge base is divided into two primary areas: Transport Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions-­‐Related Databases, and Transport Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Analysis and Reports, each of which are to be composed of a number of existing and forthcoming knowledge products. These knowledge products can be utilized individually or in combination to help achieve national transport mitigation objectives: Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 6 Version September 9th 2015 a. Transport Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions-Related Databases
Figure 1 Status of Transport Related GHG Data Bases
Overview of Transport in National Communications and Biennial Update Reports -­‐ This product contains databases of National Communications (NCs) and Biennial Update Reports (BURs) from a wide range of Annex I and non-­‐Annex I countries (including historic and projected transport emissions as a share of economy-­‐wide emissions. Information is collected directly from NCs and BURs, and includes transport emissions baselines, historic and projected growth disaggregated by passenger and freight activity, noting any economy-­‐
wide or transport-­‐specific emissions targets and any transport sector related mitigation policies identified within NCs. Current Status: A draft version of this database containing data for more than 80 countries is currently available at the following link. Planned output is a database of transport components of NCs and BURs for 100+ countries which constitute a set of broad categories of transport development and travel activity, which are to be summarized with graphical data to provide a snapshot of key trends. Improvements in transport sector reporting within successive NCs over the past decade will also be described. Transport INDC Database -­‐ In addition to the NCs and BURs, the analysis contains a distinct database of INDCs submitted to date as seen through the lens of the transport sector, including relevant information on economy-­‐wide and transport-­‐specific mitigation targets, as well as enumerating proposed interventions to yield emissions reductions in the transport sector. While INDCs submitted to date by countries such as Gabon, Morocco, and Ethiopia make explicit reference to transport targets, they do not reflect the full mitigation potential of the transport sector; thus, this analysis can help individual countries focus attention on needed areas of improvement to strengthen transport sector strategies in the context of INDCs. Current Status: A draft version of this database containing data for 29 countries is currently available at the following link. Planned output includes a database of all submitted INDCs Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 7 Version September 9th 2015 on an ongoing basis, with all INDCs submitted by the end of September to be included in the COP21 post-­‐2020 analysis. Current Status: Data for 50 countries is available now. b. Transport Emissions Projections Databases
Databases for projected and potential emissions are divided into two parts: a projected business-­‐as-­‐usual (BAU) database, and a mitigation potential database. Transport Sector Business-­‐as-­‐usual (BAU) Projections -­‐ This product contains a range of estimated transport emission baselines for business-­‐as-­‐usual (BAU) scenarios for different countries. These baselines, in combination with official forecasts in NCs, BURs and INDCs, will give countries a more comprehensive view of variation among mitigation potential studies, and will facilitate tracking of emission targets and intensify data, capacity, policy and investment interventions where required. Overview of Transport Mitigation Potential Studies -­‐ This product contains a database of mitigation potential studies to assess opportunities to reduce the future growth in transport emissions relative to business-­‐as-­‐usual (BAU) baselines (as established under the product described previously). These studies include projections of transport sector mitigation potential (supported by specific low-­‐carbon transport mitigation strategies), which are crucially broken down by sub-­‐sector (e.g. road, railways, waterways, aviation) to help to identify areas that require the greatest degree of intervention to meet transport emission targets. This product therefore describes a range of potential transport mitigation pathways to help inform the development of country INDCs in combination with intended reductions from other sectors The studies are derived through the modeling efforts by government agencies, development banks, academic institutions, and other research organizations, as selected by criteria including accessibility, comprehensiveness, consistency of approach, relevance and transparency. Efforts will be made to include at least three such mitigation studies per country to better inform the mitigation potential impact of various strategies. This study will also provide insights on specific avoid-­‐shift-­‐improve strategies proposed by studies across different countries. Where no country-­‐specific mitigation potential studies exist, potential reductions will be estimated by downscaling global and/or regional projections, and/or estimating mitigation potential based on the studies of comparable countries. Current Status: A draft version of this database containing data for more than 100 countries is currently available at the following link. National-­‐Level Transport Emissions Factsheets -­‐ This product contains a synthesis of the various components described in the previous two knowledge products, which includes historical and future BAU growth trajectories in the transport sector based on NCs and BURs; a range of available transport sector mitigation potential studies derived from modeling efforts by government agencies, development banks, and other research organizations; and a graphical presentation of alternate emissions scenarios in the transport sector, which can help in determining an appropriate degree of mitigation ambition for transport sector reductions to be reflected in economy-­‐wide INDCs, based on ranges determined by historic trends and assessed mitigation potential. For countries that have already submitted an INDC, the country factsheets would identify how mitigation Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 8 Version September 9th 2015 targets could be improved, and for those that have yet to make a submission, country factsheets could be used to strengthen the discussion of the transport sector during INDC development by using economy-­‐wide reduction targets to interpolate required reductions from the transport sector. Sample information contained in the national transport emissions fact sheets is illustrated a summary graph of key transport trends for the European Union, which shows that official low-­‐carbon targets for 2020 and 2030 improve slightly upon historic trends and BAU projections, but that mitigation ambition in the transport sector falls far short of projected long-­‐term mitigation potential (based on 2050 projections): EU- Transport GHG Emissions

To capture a more comprehensive picture of transport sector emissions at a global scale, there is a need to expand this knowledge base to a representative set of countries over the period 1990 to 2030 (and up to 2050, where applicable). The first phase of the analysis will involve creating ‘Level 1’ fact sheets for an initial mix of about 50 developed and developing countries for which detailed targets and projection data are available (e.g. United States, China, the European Union, Japan, India, Russia, Mexico, among others) that would account for a combined total of about 80% of global transport sector emissions. In subsequent phases (and as additional INDCs are submitted), this initial set of countries is expected to be scaled up to 100+ countries in the run-­‐up to Paris, which will involve creating simplified ‘Level 2’ fact sheets for those countries for which detailed targets and projection data are not available, and therefore must be estimated based on available data. These individual fact sheets will be synthesized into a summary analysis of pre-­‐ and post-­‐
2020 mitigation potential that will allow an at-­‐a-­‐glance comparison of key trends among countries and regions, to help individual Parties define and assess targets in a broader context. In addition, this summary analysis will serve to quantify aggregate contributions from the transport sector relative to maintaining global average temperatures within a 2 degree Celsius target, and thus can be used to raise ambition in subsequent reevaluation periods for transport-­‐specific and economy-­‐wide INDC targets. Current Status: A draft version of this database containing data for more than 30 countries is currently available at the following link. Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 9 Version September 9th 2015 Transport GHG Methodology Assessment Database -­‐Measuring CO2 in transport projects and programs is essential to drive mitigation action, through comparison of potential contributions of low carbon transport infrastructure and services to more carbon-­‐intensive investments. Since it is difficult to quantify positive impacts of complex transport systems relative to fixed energy infrastructure, sustainable transport has traditionally received less attention in climate finance than other sectors. The SLoCaT Partnership has compiled a detailed qualitative assessment of 64 transport greenhouse gas (GHG) emission methodologies and tools, which cover a range of transport subsectors and include both passenger and freight methodologies. The number and scope of methodologies indicate that there is a wealth of tools to analyze transport interventions for positive impacts and help drive action on climate change. The SLoCaT analysis demonstrates that GHG methodologies developed to date cover all major transport subsectors to facilitate the provision of needed sustainable transport infrastructure and services. While more than 80% of methodologies reviewed are related to the roadway sector, a significant percentage of methodologies consider other transport modes including railways (42%), waterways (28%) and aviation (19%). In addition, there is a growing body of freight-­‐related methodologies, with nearly two thirds of methodologies applicable to freight, and more than 90% of waterway methodologies oriented to freight, due to the rapid growth of shipping activity. Finally, roughly one-­‐quarter to one-­‐third of methodologies also can be used to assess co-­‐benefits of proposed measures, an important contribution since the application of co-­‐benefits to climate finance supported transport projects has been limited to date. Current Status: A working version of this database containing data for 64 methodologies and tools is currently available at the following link. These methodologies are to be expanded in coming months with the compilation and analysis of additional methodologies. c. Transport GHG Emissions Comprehensive Reports
Figure 2: Status Transport GHG emission analysis reports
The database projects described in the following section will support the development of an ongoing series of comprehensive reports and concise analyses of transport GHG emissions. Two main reports will be developed in the run-­‐up to COP21, which will provide a comprehensive picture of transport sector emissions trends and potential in various countries for the pre-­‐ and post-­‐2020 periods. Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 10 Version September 9th 2015 Report on Pre-­‐2020 Transport Emissions Projections and Potential -­‐ The first report will highlight pre-­‐2020 transport emission projections and mitigation options. The main objective of the pre-­‐2020 analysis is to investigate if countries which have established 2020 economy-­‐wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets would be able to attain a proportional share of those reductions within the transport sector (and furthermore, how mitigation efforts compare among other countries and with other sectors). Nearly 55 countries have established 2020 economy-­‐wide mitigation targets to date. Transport sector emission targets would be calculated using established economy-­‐wide targets translated to the transport sector by using the current transport sector share within economy-­‐wide emissions and proportionately allocating the national target to the transport sector. This analysis would provide a discussion on levels of ambition among Annex I and non-­‐Annex I countries. Emission targets would be compared with current emissions, BAU growth at 2020 and low carbon scenario in 2020. For the majority of countries, the emission gap at 2020 is very high when compared with low carbon scenario. For example, current transport emissions in China (2012) is 25% below their 2020 target. However, even under the low carbon scenario, the emissions are set to grow 35% higher than the 2020 targets. Estimates suggest that Spain, USA, Canada and Portugal could achieve their 2020 transport emissions targets. The cumulative gap in transport emissions in 2020 would be derived by comparing the growth in emissions under, respectively, BAU, low carbon scenario, and a 2020 target scenario. For example, preliminary estimates suggest that the cumulative transport sector gap between low carbon and established emission target scenarios between 2012 to 2020 could be as high as 950 MT and 530 MT in China and EU, respectively. Current Status: This research is currently underway, with the pre-­‐2020 report expected to scale-­‐up insights from 40-­‐60 countries (with mitigation data, see Annex I) to 100+ countries (without mitigation data) using projection methodologies. A first draft of the report will be distributed for comments by Mid-­‐September. Report on Post-­‐2020 Transport Emissions Ambition in INDCs -­‐ The second report will provide transport projections and mitigation options till 2030. The official INDC targets will be compared with mitigation options to derive recommendations for the transport sector. The report will highlight possible mitigation options through comparison across various countries. This benchmarking analysis would allow countries to compare transport mitigation efforts through different avoid-­‐shift-­‐improve strategies. General trends derived from this analysis can help development agencies identify policy gaps and identify countries, which need additional assistance. Current Status: This research is currently underway, with projections (for both BAU and low carbon scenarios) for remaining countries and summary analysis of post-­‐2020 data would be carried out in September (pending submission of 2030 targets for 50+ countries during this timeframe), with a draft of the final report targeted for mid-­‐October 2015 for limited circulation and review, and a final report (including both pre-­‐ and post-­‐2020 analyses) targeted for publication and release by mid-­‐November 2015. Analysis of Regional Transport Emissions Trends -­‐ In addition, the SLoCaT Partnership proposes to create a series of regional breakout reports, to help categorize common and divergent trends among a group of countries united by geography and other regional Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 11 Version September 9th 2015 factors. This process would build upon a recent report, which summarizes emission trends and explores case studies that demonstrate the mitigation potential of the transport sector in a number of Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries. This assessment notes that mitigation potential is often not fully incorporated in business-­‐as-­‐usual (BAU) scenarios presented in respective NCs, nor reflected in levels of ambition in emerging INDCs, and thus concludes that the usefulness of national reporting as a policy tool to drive mitigation in the transport sector has had limited impact to date. The existing LAC report can be used as a basis to create potential reports for the Asia and Africa regions in the run-­‐up to COP21. Current Status: A report on regional transport emissions trends in LAC countries has been completed and has been posted at the following link. Other potential regional reports are forthcoming. d. Transport GHG Emissions Research Briefs
Figure 3: Status Transport GHG Emissions Research Briefs
In addition to more comprehensive reports on transport GHG emissions, SLoCaT is producing a series of more concise analyses for transport emissions trends, which include the following: Analysis of Global Transport Emissions Trends -­‐ Tracking emissions trends in the transport sector (in the context of economy-­‐wide emissions) is an essential step in defining possible transport components of INDCs, and in helping to determine required contributions from transport to establish and achieve national and global mitigation targets. Yet, tracking global averages is of limited use to countries who are developing their INDCs; therefore we must have a clearer understanding of transport emissions trends and differentiation at national levels to take effective actions to reduce global transport sector emissions. To inform the discussion on transport’s contribution to CO2 emissions and transport’s potential role in mitigation, the SLoCaT Partnership has developed an analysis to illustrate national and regional transport emissions trends in three areas: (1) transport sector share of emissions relative to total emissions from fuel combustion, (2) growth of transport sector emissions, and (3) absolute and per-­‐capita emissions from transport, as normalized by a number of key variables. A key observation of the analysis is the large differentiation among transport emissions trends in individual regions and countries, underscoring the need to take a heterogeneous approach to tackling transport sector emissions worldwide. Current Status: This report is complete and was posted on May 25th at the following link. Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 12 Version September 9th 2015 Analysis of Transport in World Energy Outlook 2015 Special Report -­‐ SLoCaT Partnership has produced an analysis which summarizes some of the key observations offered by IEA and their implications for the transport sector. The transport sector grew more intensively when compared with other sectors over the last two decades. However, over 2013 to 2030, in OECD countries, the transport sector has the potential to provide the highest intensity of reductions. Under IEA’s ‘INDC scenario,’ energy consumption annual growth needs to be reduced by 50% of 1990-­‐2013 growth, while under the more ambitious ‘450 scenario,’ IEA proposes to further reduce the transport energy consumption growth by 40% over 2013-­‐2030. IEA estimates that majority of these reductions could be possible with existing technologies and with no additional cost to the society. The analysis concludes that with INDCs and national energy policies and plans proposed so far, the world’s estimated remaining carbon budget consistent with a 50% chance of keeping the rise in temperature below 2 °C is consumed by around 2040 – eight months later than is projected in the absence of INDCs. Therefore, all countries need to submit ambitious INDCs for COP21 and enhance priorities and investments on energy efficiency to peak global transport emissions by 2020, as any attempt at limiting global average temperature rise to less than 2°C without significant mitigation contributions from the transport sector is infeasible. Current Status: This report is complete and was posted on June 25th at the following link. Analysis of Transport in Global Climate Legislation Study -­‐ A study by the London School of Economics (LSE) and Grantham institute on climate change and the environment was published in June 2015 with the objective of compiling climate change-­‐relevant legislation in the world in one easily accessible database for legislators, researchers and policy-­‐makers. The 2015 Global Climate Legislation study edition covers 98 countries plus the EU, up from 66 countries in 2014, which together account for 93%of global greenhouse gas emissions. The Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport (SLoCaT) has conducted an analysis of the transport attributes of the study and has created a database focusing on the relevant transport legislation and their corresponding emissions targets. Of the 98 countries represented in the study, SLoCaT found a promising list of 47 transport-­‐related policies. The transport legislation database shows that transport-­‐specific policies are broad in scope, ranging from direct policies relating to biofuel concentrations in fossil transportation fuels to overarching policies concerning peak hour traffic control (e.g. Singapore’s policy to promote public transport at peak hours). Few countries had adopted policies before the Kyoto Protocol, and the majority of progressive policies were created in the last ten years. The time frames of these targets also range from short-­‐term to long-­‐term (e.g. the National Climate Change Strategy in Vietnam envisages a complete domestic and international system to meet societal needs by 2050, and Argentina’s 2006 legislation ensures all vehicles must use at least 5% bio-­‐fuel by 2010). Current Status: The Analysis was completed on June 3rd. For SLoCaT Partnership’s database on Transport Legislation, please download the Excel document. For the full text of the LSE-­‐
Study please click here. Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 13 Version September 9th 2015 e. Reference Document on MRV Systems for the Transport Sector
The document provides guidance on how to develop comprehensive and consistent national systems for monitoring transport related emissions, including monitoring or MRV of transport NAMAs. The document builds on existing knowledge and lessons learned in ongoing NAMA activities and experiences in GHG emissions quantification in the transport sector in developed and developing countries. Summarising existing state of the art in one publication will provide decision makers in charge of building up national monitoring systems with a concise source of information. At the same time, it can support host countries in the development of country roadmaps towards MRV readiness. The document is complemented by a series of peer-­‐reviewed “Blue Prints” that give detailed insight into MRV approaches for different types of transport NAMAs f.

To guide the SLoCaT Partnership in its ongoing work on transport sector GHG analysis, is in establishing a review panel of external experts, to be potentially composed of researchers from IEA, ITF, ICCT, UC-­‐Davis, the World Bank and others. Initial functions envisioned for this committee include the following: • Review SLoCaT methodological approaches to the development of Transport GHG assessment products.4 • Review data quality and integrity to ensure that analysis yields ambitious and achievable targets • Recommend additional mitigation studies for inclusion in overall analysis • Review draft and final pre-­‐ and post-­‐2020 transport emissions reports • Recommend how SLoCaT databases and analyses can be integrated into other larger, economy-­‐wide analyses conducted by organizations including the above g. Transport Emissions Knowledge Products Data Center
SLoCaT is in the process of creating a central repository of the various knowledge products on transport GHG emission for easy review and access. Over time, the various knowledge products described above may be linked through a dynamically updated database, to support post-­‐2020 refinement and implementation of transport sector components of INDCs. The timeline of this proposed shift to a more powerful data platform will depend upon sufficient funding and the identification of a host organization willing and able to host and maintain such a database. 2.
Finance Knowledge Products
Developing much needed transport infrastructure and services in developing countries will require trillions of dollars, and investments in sustainable, low-­‐carbon transport solutions can substantially reduce the total cost. There is growing international consensus on the need to reduce transport related GHGs and make transport more sustainable in general; the debate now needs to shift towards the financing required to rapidly scale up the 4 See http://www.slocat.net/sites/default/files/u13/transport_ghg_methodology_note.pdf Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 14 Version September 9th 2015 development and operation of sustainable, low carbon transport infrastructure and services. In response to these broad sustainable transport investment needs, PPMC and the SLoCaT Partnership are developing a set of finance knowledge products, which include a compilation of climate finance-­‐funded transport projects and programs, and a forthcoming assessment of project preparation facilities and infrastructure financing facilities. Figure 4: Status Finance Related Knowledge Products
a. Climate Finance Transport
The SLoCaT Partnership is compiling data on transport-­‐focused projects from seven of the main climate finance instruments (CFIs) to assess the contribution of these CFIs towards sustainable, low carbon transport. While the International Energy Agency estimates that transport accounted for 22% of global energy related CO2 emissions in 2011, climate finance involvement in the transport sector has lagged compared to other sectors. The relatively limited impact of climate finance in the transport sector to date falls far short of investments needed to meet transport related climate change targets and achieve transport targets under the proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Thus it is crucial to make CFIs more accessible by increasing eligibility, readiness, and measurement, reporting and verification within the transport sector. This database will be extended based on available emerging data, including recent climate finance data released by the world’s six largest MDBs, which increase the funding provided by traditional climate finance instruments by an order of magnitude. The PPMC will also monitor and document efforts to introduce carbon pricing and assess the relevance for the transport sector. This against a backdrop in which there is growing interest, including from the private sector (e.g at the recent Paris Business and Climate Summit) for the introduction of carbon pricing. The GIZ implemented TRANSfer project is currently carrying out more in-­‐depth analysis on the potential use of climate finance for different types of sustainable, low carbon transport initiatives. This is expected to result in a discussion paper that will be ready for presentation at COP21. Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 15 Version September 9th 2015 b. Infrastructure Financing Facilities Project Preparatory Facilities
A critical barrier to scaling up infrastructure investments in developing economies is often not a lack of available finance, but an insufficient pipeline of bankable projects for implementation. In response, multilateral development banks are strengthening project pipelines through dedicated project preparation facilities (PPFs), and a number of countries and regions have established infrastructure financing facilities (IFFs) to accelerate investments in infrastructure, including transport. In this context, the SLoCaT Partnership and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) are conducting into the potential of IFFs and PPFs to scale up global investments in sustainable transport. No comprehensive overview is currently available, and thus an analysis of the current state of IFFs and PPFs through the lens of sustainable transport can help facilitate the movement of fundable transport projects from proposal to implementation. c. Private Sector Involvement in Public Transport
Forthcoming knowledge products in the finance area will delve further into private sector involvement in sustainable transport investments, leveraging internal SLoCaT Partnership research and building upon recent roundtables on private sector financing of transport in London (March 2015) and Hong Kong (June 2015). These knowledge products will include a more in-­‐depth focus on the potential role of institutional investors in (co-­‐)financing sustainable transport. d. Standard for Land Transport Related Climate Bonds
The Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) is an international, investor-­‐focused not-­‐for-­‐profit organization aiming to develop tools to mobilize the bond market for climate change solutions. The Climate Bonds Standard and Certification Scheme aims to develop screening criteria for investors and governments which allow them to easily prioritize climate and green bonds with confidence that the funds are being used to mitigate and/or adapt to climate change. The Green Bond market is moving rapidly and in advance of widely accepted standards for use of proceeds, project evaluation and ongoing reporting. Along with many other sectors, CBI is seeking to develop a standard for bonds linked to land transport projects in response to current, and in anticipation of future, demand. CBI, with involvement of a number of SLoCaT members is currently reviewing the issues surrounding certification of transport projects, from discussion with industry experts (CBI’s Low Carbon Transport Technical Working Group, TWG) and a review of relevant literature. The standard under development includes a set of proposed criteria for certifying land transport projects and assets. e. Transport NAMA Update
Based on an updated assessment of transport NAMAs worldwide that are available in the transport NAMA database, this publication contains a review of the Transport NAMA Development worldwide, its challenges and good practices until December 2015. 3. Policy Knowledge Products
In addition to knowledge products on assessment and finance, PPMC knowledge products Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 16 Version September 9th 2015 also consider broad policy contexts that shape implementation of sustainable transport solutions over diverse time and geographic scales. These include frameworks of sustainable transport strategies, analyses of sustainable transport in ongoing climate processes, and reports on sustainable transport commitments made in various global fora. Policies efforts documented in the PPMC focus on the global and regional level. In many cases they reflect policies that combine CO2 reduction with economic and social benefits. Figure 5: Status Policy Related Knowledge Products
a. MCB Mobility Green Paper
The Mobility Green Paper is the product of the collective intelligence of the Michelin Challenge Bibendum partners who gathered in Chengdu, China, in November 2014, and debated a draft version of this document. More than 250 institutions, representing all parts of the world, participated and shaped a dynamic vision of innovative mobility for tomorrow, positioning it at the heart of growth and urban well being. The process was particularly successful in identifying top challenges to be addressed, recognizing that mounting societal demand calls for game-­‐changers, and proposing concrete priorities to transform transportation where it mostly needs it, namely in cities. The structure of the document -­‐ 5/5/5-­‐ can be easily remembered: • Five global challenges: urban health, GHG build-­‐up, congestion, inclusiveness, finance • Five game-­‐changers: ambitious CO2 objectives for transport, Ultra Low Emission Zones, Last Mile Delivery redesign, Door-­‐to -­‐Door solutions, private financing • Five levers to success: ecosystems, technologies, policies, economic instruments, massive deployment. MCB is now in the process of expanding the document with a section on long distance transport (including shipping and aviation) to ensure that the document and its recommendations truly reflect the multi-­‐modal character of transport. Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 17 Version September 9th 2015 b. Adaptation in the transport sector to climate change
Adaptation to Climate Change is gaining in importance as part of the global policy discussions on Climate Change. It is expected that the upcoming new global agreement on climate change will have a substantive section on adaptation. Developing countries, or non-­‐
Annex 1 countries in the UNFCCC context have called for greater emphasis on adaptation and as a consequence countries are including adaptation in the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) they are submitting to the UNFCCC. Although the transport sector (especially transport infrastructure) is one of the main sectors that is, or will be, affected by climate change relatively little work has been done to document national and global policy commitments on adaptation in the transport sector. Also, the majority of climate finance given to transport has been on mitigation and only a small part of this relates to adaptation. The SLoCaT partnership will develop a background paper on Transport, Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Change. This will include: • Literature review on major climate change adaptation studies. How much do these studies pay attention to transport infrastructure and services? • Selected Overview of country adaptation policies with transport relevance • Overview of key programs related to transport and adaptation • Funding available for adaptation in the transport sector? • Conclusions and recommendations on improving adaptation policies and measures in the transport sector. This study is carried out in cooperation with UNCRD and the Nordic Development Fund. c. Monitoring UNFCCC discussions on Climate Change
A dedicated section has been created on the PPMC website to document UNFCCC discussion on a new Climate Change agreement. A team of researchers from the SLoCaT Partnership and the Bridging the Gap Initiative tracked five negotiating streams at COP20 Lima with particular relevance to transport (i.e. pre-­‐2020 ambition, intended nationally-­‐defined contributions, nationally-­‐appropriate mitigation actions, technology transfer, climate finance), keeping a scorecard to mark progress through a lens of sustainable transport. Despite minor leaps in each of these areas, the overall conclusion is that Lima limped with regard to transport, reinforcing the need to converge around key activities in the run-­‐up to COP21. A similar summary report was created for the March 2015 Geneva session, and the June 2015 Bonn session. During COP21 in Paris daily reports will be prepared as was done for COP20. A summary report will also be prepared. d. City Commitments on Transport and Climate Change
Since 2015 is a critical year for both climate change and sustainable development, it is clear that cities must play a key role in assuring that sustainable, low carbon transport makes its contribution to the sustainable development and climate policies. A SLoCaT Partnership analysis presents an overview of different city initiatives on sustainable, low carbon transport, in which action has been pledged by cities, mayors or civil society. These initiatives include 22 signatory cities to the C40 Clean Bus Declaration, 35 signatory Asian Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 18 Version September 9th 2015 cities to the Kyoto Declaration of the Environmentally Sustainable Transport Forum, and transport-­‐related commitments made by European cities under the Covenant of Mayors. In the planned actions towards 2020, that has already been assessed and approved by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, 24% concerns transport with an estimated total reduction of 117 TW/h, equivalent to the total energy consumption of the Netherlands. Full results of the city commitment analysis will be included as part of a broader forthcoming report on transport commitments, which will assess progress toward 23 commitments made at the Rio+20 Summit, as well as the five land transport-­‐related commitments made at the Secretary General’s Climate Summit (i.e. public transport, railways, fuel economy, electric mobility, freight transport) and more recently-­‐announced commitments, including those on sustainable urban mobility plans, and cycling mode share. e. Transport NAMA Handbook – Navigating Transport NAMAs
A practical handbook on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in the transport sector. It contains tools and best practice examples that support politicians and practitioners in planning, developing and implementing transport NAMAs The updated Version features new chapters on MRV and finance. C. Regional and Thematic Dialogues
A key observation on previous COP and climate change related meetings is that transport stakeholders usually do often not participate. Yet, the outcome of COP meetings and other climate change related forums is increasingly of relevance for transport stakeholders. Therefore, a key component of the PPMC is to establish dialogues with the transport community and other stakeholders generally not well represented at UNFCCC gatherings before COP21 and seek ways and means to ensure that the outcomes and possible recommendations of such dialogues land in Paris. Currently a mix of national, regional and thematic dialogues is being planned. It is expected that the list of dialogue events presented here will grow in the coming months. PPMC Partners and other interested organizations are encouraged to contact the PPMC Secretariat if they would like to contribute additional dialogue events to the PPMC. 1.
National and Regional Dialogs
a. Breakfast Briefing African Missions to the UN (New York 28th September)
Greenhouse Gas emissions from transport in Africa are a major contributor to Climate Change, as in other parts of the world. At the same time the transport sector in Africa is also already confronted in various places with the negative consequences of climate change and extreme weather events associated with Climate Change. Countries around the world are now gearing up for COP21 in December 2015 in Paris France. An important element to help secure a successful outcome of COP21 are the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), which countries are currently formulating to document their intended actions on mitigation of, and adaptation to climate change. Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 19 Version September 9th 2015 The Breakfast Briefing on 28th September, hosted by Ford Foundation and co-­‐organized with ITDP will have three components: (a) overview of Transport and Climate Change in the African Region; (b) country actions on transport and climate change and their impacts, including already submitted INDCs, and (c) external initiatives interested in working with countries in Africa to combat climate change. The latter includes a presentation on transport initiatives under the Lima Paris Action Agenda. b. Transport and Climate Change Dialogue - EcoMobility Festival in
Johannesburg, South Africa (6-9 October)
EcoMobility world festival is a month-­‐long presentation of an innovative and forward thinking urban transportation culture. One neighborhood is temporarily converted into an “ecomobile neighborhood”, this presents a real-­‐life vision of car-­‐free urban living for the future. The EcoMobility world festival will this year be in Johannesburg, South Africa in October. As part of the program of the EcoMobility festival a series of dialogues will be held of which one will focus on transport and climate change. The agenda of the Transport and Climate Dialogue intends to contribute to closing the gap between climate change mitigation action committed or currently underway and what science says is needed to limit global average temperature rise to less than 2°C above pre-­‐industrial levels, as well as the need for greater action to strengthen resilience to the effects of climate change. There is a need to identify, highlight and mobilize for the critical actions required of Cities in respect of transport to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. This will be the focus of the Transport and Climate Change Dialogue while the subsequent press conference and Mayor’s Parade will announce to the local and international community what commitments have been made by attending Mayors and what message will be taken from City mayors to the COP21 gathering. The Decision Makers’ Track will be run as follows: • Wednesday 7 October, Technical Expert Meeting on Road to Paris: Transport and Climate change will be held to discuss and develop a proposed draft statement which will cover topics such as the role of climate financing, harmonizing planning approaches, tools and implementing procedures, and setting robust institutional framework. Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 20 Version September 9th 2015 •
Thursday 8 October, a Leaders’ Roundtable on Road to Paris: Transport and Climate Change to be attended by international transport and sustainability leaders as well as Mayors of cities around the world will gather to consider the inputs from the Technical Expert Meeting and resolve on a “Cities Statement on Low Carbon Transport”. The declaration will include voluntary actions that Mayors of cities present will commit to. •
Friday 9 October, an International Press Conference will be held to release the Declaration of Mayors on Transport and Climate Change. This will be followed by a parade, Mayors’ EcoMobility Ride to demonstrate their commitment to implement transport actions that mitigate climate change The SLoCaT partnership has been invited by ICLEI to facilitate, under the auspices of the PPMC, the Transport and Climate Change Dialogue including the development of the Cities Statement on Low Carbon Transport. It is clear that while the Johannesburg EcoMobility festival and linked dialogue on transport and climate change offers strong opportunities that it is important to ensure that this is linked to wider efforts to promote the engagement of cities in action on transport and climate change. A coordinated approach will be followed that takes into account the Cities Action area under the LPPA. c. Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS), LAC, Punta Cana, Dominican
Republic (Oct 12 – 13)
Consultations are ongoing on hosting a workshop and webinar on the topic of transport and climate change to be held in conjunction with the LEDS LAC workshop in Punta Cana, Republica Dominicana, 12-­‐13 October. The session is proposed to consist of three primary components: (a) assessment of GHG trends in transport; (b) country actions on transport and climate change and their impacts, and (c) external transport initiatives interested in working with LAC countries, with the final programme to be closely coordinated with WRI/EMBARQ. d. Asia Regional Dialogue on Transport and Climate Change (November 18,
2015)
The fourth regional dialogue will be held on 18 November in conjunction with the ninth Regional EST Forum will be held from 18-­‐20 November, 2015 in Kathmandu, Nepal. In addition to the Regional Dialogue on Transport and Climate, it is expected that the theme of transport and climate change will be woven into the entire discussions of the 9th EST Forum, which will have as the overall theme: ‘EST for Resiliency – Building Safe, Smart, Low-­‐carbon and Resilient Cities in Asia’. The Regional Environmentally Sustainable Transport (EST) Transport Forum in Asia has a track record of over 10 years and is now the largest and most inclusive intergovernmental process on sustainable transport in Asia. Coordinated by the United Nations Center for Regional Development (UNCRD) and supported by the Ministry of Environment of Japan it brings together senior level officials from Ministries of Transport, Environment and in some cases Health from 24 countries in the Asian region. For more information see: http://www.uncrd.or.jp/index.php?menu=383. Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 21 Version September 9th 2015 With an expected 400 participants the 9th Regional EST Forum is one of the leading events on sustainable transport in Asia. The planned regional dialogue will give a voice to those stakeholders on transport in Asia that are not participating in COP21. It is envisaged that the Chairman Summary of the 9th EST Forum will include recommendations on transport and climate change that can be presented at relevant events during COP21. It is under consideration to have Nepal as host of the 9th EST Forum present the recommendations in Paris. 2. Thematic Dialogues
Currently two thematic dialogues are being planned under the PPMC: one on the importance of Intelligent Transport Systems, and one on Climate Finance for sustainable, low carbon transport, one on the role of governments. a. ITS and Climate, Bordeaux France, 7th October
As part of the 22nd World ITS Congress in Bordeaux/France, a one day session on 7 October will be devoted to the role of ITS to help curb transport emissions. It will be co-­‐organized by MCB and UN-­‐ECE with active support and involvement of the French Government. The day will consist of three main panels in which discussions on climate change are mainstreamed: •
Impact of ITS on sustainable mobility – expectations for the future. This will discuss the latest developments in ITS and how they can support the shift towards sustainable mobility. •
ITS for sustainable transport. This will discuss how ITS can support and promote sustainability both from the environmental point of view and from the point of view of road safety, focusing on reducing CO2 emissions and enabling more ecological driving. •
New Services in Mobility: This will discuss the latest innovations and services in mobility and how they can contribute to safety and environmental sustainability. b. Climate Finance Expert Group Meeting on Sustainable Transport
The SLoCaT Partnership is facilitating an expert group for GIZ's TRANSfer Project on promoting climate finance for sustainable transport. The expert group is composed of international experts on climate financing, financing of transport and sustainable, low carbon transport. The expert group contributed to the development of a Draft Policy Brief "Scaling-­‐up Sustainable, Low-­‐Carbon Transport – overcoming funding and financing challenges, and the role of climate finance". An Executive Summary of the policy brief titled, Climate Finance as the Engine for More Low-­‐Carbon Transport was published in December 2014. It provides initial recommendations to policy makers on transport and climate finance on how climate finance can accelerate the realization of sustainable, low-­‐
carbon transport. Building on the knowledge work on Climate Finance for Transport described under the knowledge products component, the PPMC intends to facilitate the hosting of an expert meeting in support of the development of this new knowledge product Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 22 Version September 9th 2015 on Climate Finance for Low Carbon Transport. Discussions are ongoing on whether this would be an in-­‐person meeting or a series of virtual discussions. 3. Presentation PPMC at key global events
Apart from the regional and thematic dialogues on transport and climate change in which the PPMC and its key messages will be presented MCB and SLoCaT have also been invited to a number of other events to present the PPMC and its activities in preparation of COP21 in Paris. These include: • Plenary introductory session of the Paris "Convergences" International Forum (Paris, Sep 7) • Business for Environment Climate Summit 2015 (London, Sep 9 -­‐ 10) • South Africa International Renewable Energy Conference (Cape Town, South Africa, Oct 4-­‐7) • 8th International & Environmental Congress (Bogota, Colombia Oct 6-­‐9) • UNCTAD Multi-­‐year Expert Meeting on Sustainable Freight Transport (Geneva, Oct 14 -­‐ 16) • Walk 21 (Vienna, Austria Oct 20-­‐23) • 25th World Road Congress 2015 (Seoul, Republic of Korea Nov 2-­‐5) D. PPMC Events on Low Carbon Transport and Mobility during
COP21
The PPMC will actively take part in Transport and Mobility events during COP21. Through the PPMC website (http://ppmc-­‐cop21.org/events.html) it will provide on an ongoing basis an overview of all transport and mobility related events leading up to and during COP21. Like in previous years a printed overview of all transport and mobility related events at COP21 will also be prepared and disseminated on a large scale. Transport and mobility events during COP21 can be divided in: (a) those that are taking place at Le Bourget, both within the official blue zone – only accessible for COP21 accredited persons – as well as those in the Civil Society Village and La Gallerie (the business exhibition), both accessible to all interested persons; and (b) those that are taking place at other locations in Paris and which are accessible to all interested persons. 1. COP21 – (Le Bourget) – Blue Zone
Events in this category are only accessible for persons that are registered for COP21 through the UNFCCC.5 a. LPAA related events on Transport
It is expected that the LPAA will organize at least two events in which the Transport Action Agenda of the LPAA will be featured: 5 Initial registration for COP21 closed on June 22nd and if people are not included in this initial registration it is NOT likely that they can attend the events in this category. Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 23 Version September 9th 2015 • Thematic Day on Transport (Transport Focus). This half-­‐day event (3rd December, 10.15 am – 13.30 pm) is expected to showcase the transport initiatives under the LPAA and the support from countries, private sector and other non-­‐state actors. The Transport Focus event, organized under the auspices of the LPAA, intends to increase awareness on the need and opportunities for greater action on transport and climate change. The Transport Focus mobilizes all stakeholders, both from governments as well as from the business sector as well as civil society. It contributes to the development of a Road Map for action on Transport and Climate Change that lays out a pathway for a potential development of the Transport Initiatives initiated first by the Secretary General’s Climate Summit and which were then fostered through the LPAA. It will feed into, complement and reinforce the Action day on December 5th. The PPMC has been requested by the LPPA to facilitate the development of the program for the Transport Focus event in coordination with the LPAA Transport Initiatives. •
LPAA Action Day (December 5th). Transport will be one of the topics covered in this
whole day high-level event. With high-­‐level participation, the Action Day will demonstrate how innovative strategic action on climate, in key areas including the transport sector improves daily life in SDG terms. It will capture the magnitude of the mobilization as well as the credibility of the commitments. b. UNFCCC official side events
There will be a total of 180 official, UNFCCC organized side events at COP 21. Typically there are about 3-­‐4 fully transport-­‐related side events at COP meetings, and an additional number of side events in which transport is one of the themes. The SLoCaT Partnership is helping to facilitate the coordination of the transport related side events among its members and other interested organizations. This will help maximize the visibility and quality of transport side events by helping prevent duplication and overlap. Applications for transport side events have been submitted amongst others by: • UITP and UIC; • CTS Mexico and Clean Air Asia; • TRF and INTDP; TTF; • T&E, Danish Government, European Climate Foundation, NABU The applications deal with a range of topics including LPAA transport initiatives; NAMAs and INDCS; City to City Cooperation; smart tolling and international shipping. c. Side events hosted at pavilions of international organizations and countries
Typically there are several international organizations (e.g. OECD, EU) and countries that have pavilions in the limited access – blue zone of the COP. These often have the capacity to host side events. In this context, the Netherlands is looking at the possibility to host three transport-­‐related side events in the pavilion that they will be hosting in the Blue Zone, the topics of these side events are still being discussed. The EU pavilion will host amongst others a side event on international aviation organized by T&E, Aviation Environment Federation, and BUND. Furthermore, the International Transport Forum is expected to host three transport events in the joint OECD pavilion in the blue zone. This will include two events in the first COP Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 24 Version September 9th 2015 week: one on Mitigation policies on Urban Transport and one on Mitigation policies for long distance (freight) transport. In the second week ITF will host a high level policy discussion on Transport and Climate Change that will follow up on the Ministerial Session on Transport and Climate during the May 2015 ITF meeting in Leipzig, Germany A strong effort will be made to arrange further transport and mobility related side events at some of these pavilions. The topics of such side events will be determined in consultation with the host pavilion. In many cases these will be more country specific or consist of a deep-­‐dive into a specific topic. 2. COP21 – (Le Bourget) – Civil Society Zone and La Gallerie (Business
Exhibition)
Events in this category are accessible to all interested persons, also if they are not accredited for COP21. a. Civil Society Village
The French Presidency of COP21 will set up a Civil Society Village, right next to the official COP venue at Le Bourget. The PPMC has applied for a 27m2 booth as well as three side events. The topics for the side events will be chosen after there is more clarity on the overall number and type of transport events during COP 21. The PPMC is looking forward to partners for organizing these side events. PPMC is in discussion with ICLEI on a possible joint side event activity in the Transformational Action Potential (TAP) Pavilion, which is coordinated by ICLEI, which will be part of the Civil Society Village. This side event will build on the discussions during the EcoMobility festival in Johannesburg in October 2015. T&E and the Centre for Biological Diversity have also applied for a side event on international aviation in the Civil Society Village. b. La Gallery – Business Exhibition
The French Presidency of COP21 has requested Reed Exhibitions to set up a business exhibition at Le Bourget. There will also be opportunities for side events (on a paid basis) at La Gallerie. From currently available information it appears that there will considerable logistical impediments, which can reduce the number of COP21 participants actually visiting La Gallerie. Based on this the PPMC will not actively make use of the opportunity to organize side events at La Gallerie. PPMC will however be supporting Partner Organizations who do decide to make use of space at La Gallerie, e.g. the Morning Debates on Sustainable Transport by Fer de France from 2 to 4 and 9 to 11 December 2015. The objective of these morning debates, which will be recorded and available for webcasting are: • To obtain recognition for and raise the profile of the contribution made by transport to meeting energy transition challenges and the fight against climate change; • By raising awareness of the growing demand for mobility and the impact in terms of ecological footprint; Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 25 Version September 9th 2015 •
By highlighting the ability of rail stakeholders to form long-­‐term partnerships to meet this demand. The PPMC will provide suggestions for speakers to Fer de France and assist in outreach and communication on the Morning Debates. 3. Events away from Le Bourget in Paris City
In addition to the events at Le Bourget the PPMC will also be supporting or leading events on transport and mobility that are taking place in Paris city. a. Train to Paris event 28th November
The International Union of Railways, together with its members in various countries, is organizing a series of trains from various capitals and large cities that will all arrive in Paris in the late afternoon of November 28th (http://traintoparis.org). This will be followed by an event hosted by UIC. The role of PPMC is focusing on outreach and the promotion of low carbon transport as a low emission strategy to address climate change. b. Mayors Forum – December 5th?
The concept of a dedicated ‘Mayors Forum on Transport’ is a joint idea of the PPMC, ICLEI and C40 with the support of the Mayor’s office in Paris. The exact role of the Maire of Paris is still to be determined but we have been led to believe that transport is a topic of interest. The planned objectives for the Proposed ‘Mayors Forum on Transport’ include: • Demonstrate the importance of City Actions in addressing climate change and low carbon transport • Highlight the importance of transport in climate change action plans to create real progress to maintain a two degree C or less target • Share the PPMC (various knowledge products, Transport Day etc); the C40 Clean Bus Declaration and the ICLEI Johannesburg Declaration Key messages coming out the Forum would include: • Demonstrate the importance of transport as a key contributor to not just emissions reduction, but also to improving quality of life and green growth • Demonstrate the citizens and stakeholder involvement in making plans into actions • The majority of transport commitments under the LPAA have an urban dimension The event is currently being planned as a half day in a location in Paris, possibly on December 5th in the afternoon. c. Transport Day 2015 – December 6th
Transport Day 2015 will take place on Sunday December 6th, 2015 in Paris, France and is hosted by the International Union of Railways (UIC). It is the third in a series of transport days organized during the annual COP meetings. A key difference with previous years is that the 2015 Transport Day is not organized as a stand alone event but that it is an integral part of a much larger effort to promote sustainable, low carbon transport in the context of the UNFCCC and COP21. It will be the Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 26 Version September 9th 2015 flagship event of the Paris Process on Mobility and Climate (PPMC), which is an open and inclusive platform, established by the Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport and Michelin Challenge Bibendum, that brings stakeholders together to promote more ambitious action on Transport and Climate Change. Discussions in Transport Day 2015, which takes place halfway through COP21, will take stock of the ongoing negotiations and how the expected outcome of COP21 will: • Encourage national governments to take ambitious action on transport and climate change, and; • Empower non-­‐state actors including cities and regions as well as the business sector and NGOs to take action on transport and climate change that complement, and in some cases incentivize, action by state actors. The scope of Transport Day 2015 will expand its traditional focus on land transport (both passenger and freight) to showcase also the importance of actions in international shipping (maritime) and aviation. As in previous years, both mitigation of and adaptation to climate change will be part of the programme. Previous Transport Days in 2013 and 2014 had a strong emphasis on demonstrating the need for ambitious action on Transport and Climate Change. The key message for Transport Day 2015, which will guide programming of and discussions during Transport Day 2015 is: “Ambitious Action on Transport and Climate Change is Feasible Now”. Throughout the day we intend to take the participants on a journey, for which we foresee five main parts: • We will start of with a reminder of what needs to be done and when. This will be done by revealing a visual depiction of the challenges and opportunities that will remain on the stage/wall of the plenary room to remind participants of the need to be ambitious and think big – (plenary session) • This will be followed by a number of visionary statements from experts from the fields of industry, technology, finance, national and local governments, new ecosystems. These statements, which will have a 2050 time horizon will challenge participants in their thinking on what could be done in an ideal world and introduce some elements of disruptive rather than linear change. Visionary statements will relate both to mitigation of, and adaptation to Climate Change. Visionary statements will NOT be limited to technical solutions but will give equal attention to behavioral change – (plenary session) • In the next part of the journey, realism sets in and questions will be asked and answered on what needs to be done in terms of policies, finance, technology and new ecosystems to realize the vision – (plenary/break-­‐out sessions) • In the penultimate part of the journey we will talk about the way forward – how to scale up and maintain momentum. The session will also build on the conclusions of the LPAA Transport Focus (3 December) and the LPAA Action Day (5 December)– (plenary session) • We want to end the journey on a high note by celebrating action that is being taken now (or in the foreseeable future) by governments as well by business sector and Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 27 Version September 9th 2015 civil society. This will be the moment in which the sustainable transport, climate change and sustainable development community can come together and highlight collaboration as well as thanking those organizations and groups that are taking action on Transport and Climate Change, and encourage them and others to do more. (This will include the LPAA Transport Initiatives) -­‐ (plenary session) Transport Day 2015 will have an estimated 350-­‐400 participants. Registration is expected to start late September. In line with the multi-­‐stakeholder character of the PPMC senior level representation from the public sector (national governments and cities), private sector (transport and mobility related industries), development sector (bilateral and multilateral development organizations), and civil society is expected among participants, presenters and panelists. To ensure the policy linkage between Climate Change and Sustainable Development, Transport Day 2015 will also pay attention to the SDGs to be adopted in September 2015 and look forward to Habitat III in October 2016, when a new global agenda for urban development will be adopted. d. Finance in support of LPAA Transport Action Area
The PPMC is planning to organize a (breakfast) meeting on financing for low carbon transport. Potential partners in the event include Adenauer Foundation, GIZ-­‐TRANSfer project, the International Transport Forum, and the MDB Working Group on Sustainable Transport. It appears that there is significant underinvestment in transport. The public sector has traditionally taken the lead in financing sustainable transport infrastructure and services; yet there is a growing awareness that traditional financing sources (e.g. public sector funding, end user revenue and official development assistance as well as climate finance) alone will be insufficient to scale up the needed funding to attain these targets. The workshop planned to be conducted in Paris during COP21 will take an integrated look at the finance question to arrive at recommendations on possible funding and financing structures that can help accelerate more ambitious action on transport and climate change. d. Transport and Mobility Components in other specialized events
In the same manner that the PPMC is organizing a dedicated Transport Day during COP21 other communities also organize dedicated days, such as a Business Day This offers opportunities for the transport and mobility community to offer to organize a dedicated panel on transport and mobility and climate change from a business or cities perspective or to provide speakers. The Sustainable Innovation Forum 2015 (SIF15), 7-­‐8 December is a possible opportunity to engage with the Business Community. This business-­‐led event organised by United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Climate Action, will convene over 750 high-­‐level attendees at the iconic Stade de France during UNFCCC Conference of Parties. The 2 day multi-­‐stakeholder meeting brings together world leaders, national and regional Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 28 Version September 9th 2015 government, investors and CEOs to share ideas and accelerate innovative solutions to address climate change and accelerate low carbon growth. e. Clean Mobility Reception – December 3rd
Apart from the formal events on transport and climate change, which focus on discussion and substantive exchange of ideas the PPMC will also organize a networking reception. This reception will bring PPMC partners and sponsors together with representatives from the negotiating parties in COP21. The venue this reception, tentatively planned for the evening of December 3rd is still under discussion but to attract participants it will need to be at an iconic venue. III.
PPMC Outreach
The impact of the PPMC will be greatly determined by the effectiveness of outreach activities under the PPMC. To optimize the impact of PPMC outreach an integrated outreach strategy is being pursued that incudes online-­‐digital outreach with more traditional means (the latter mostly during COP21). PPMC Outreach will be centered around the objectives of the PPMC (support to 4 objectives of the French COP21 Presidency) and be driven by the PPMC Common Messages on Transport and Mobility. The PPMC Secretariat will seek the assistance of specialized media/communication teams of members of the SLoCaT Partnership as well as other interested groups. A. PPMC Communications Task Force
The PPMC has set up various communication channels to disseminate the on-­‐going work both before and during the COP itself (see later); however, it is felt that by combining efforts among PPMC partners and supporters with a proven capacity on communications, we can increase our impacts significantly and therefore we have created a small dedicated task force on communications. This task force will be led by the PPMC secretariat in close coordination with the World Bank outreach team. It is expected that the Task Force (and its members) will act a focal point for coordinated actions on communications that will be taken up by other PPMC partners and SLoCaT members to maximise the outreach. Suggested objectives for the Communications Task Force include: • Develop and agree on a set of common messages that can be used in all communications (see Common Messages component earlier in the document); • Identify priority events where these messages can be disseminated. It is thought that each organization will probably have their own communications plan that will reinforce the combined efforts of the PPMC and its supporters to maximize impact; • Provide input for a common media pack that can be shared with the LPAA communications team with the contact names of the Task Force and their areas of interest and can be posted on the PPMC site; Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 29 Version September 9th 2015 • Coordinate input and share dates of specific international, regional and national events of interest in the lead up to the COP and at the COP it self, agreeing on the priority events. • Agree a set of key factors of success. The Task Force will work in general via email and conference calls, with one planned face-­‐
to-­‐face meeting to be held in New York around the time of the UN Climate Summit (where conference call facilities are envisaged). The date for this is planned to be 24th September, 14h 00 – 17h 00 in Washington. B. 80 Days Campaign on Climate Smart Actions in the Transport
Sector
The “Around the World in 80 Days Campaign” aims to document and communicate the wide range of experience that exists in implementing climate smart action in the transport sector. The “Around the World in 80 Days Campaign” is an initiative of the Netherlands government, which supports the Transport Action Area under the Lima Paris Action Agenda (LPAA) and the PPMC. The campaign is an 80 days search inspiring examples of action on transport and climate change. The intention is to inspire, to get more action and to create a feeling among stakeholders, especially governments that they want to replicate these inspiring actions. Climate smart actions in the transport sector (TCSAs) need to fulfill the following criteria: • Implementation of TCSAs will result in lower CO2 emissions compared to a business as usual approach or it will increase the resilience of the transport sector and help adapt the sector to the consequences of climate change; • Actions in the transport that lower the emissions of Short Lived Climate Pollutants, e.g. black carbon, will also result in mitigation of climate change; • At the same time TCSAs in most cases will have added sustainable development related benefits like reduced air pollution, improved road safety, or reduced congestion; • In many cases TCSAs because of reductions in fuel consumption and improvements in efficiency will also result in cost saving; • TCSAs help raise awareness amongst individuals, organizations and the business sector on the potential to undertake action on transport and climate change; TCSAs included in the “Around the World in 80 Days Campaign”: • All sub-­‐sectors of transport road, rail, water, and air will be included; • All modes of transport are to be reflected from walking and cycling; motorized and non-­‐motorized vehicles; road and non-­‐road vehicles; • Both passenger and freight transport examples will be presented with the understanding that special efforts will be made to highlight actions on freight considering the fast growth of GHG emissions from the freight sector and its underrepresentation in climate related action so far The “Around the World in 80 Days Campaign” will be implemented in close coordination with the LPAA Transport Initiatives. Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 30 Version September 9th 2015 The TCSAs being developed under the 80 Days Campaign will also be a valuable input to a related campaign that the PPMC is associated. The Bridging the Gap Initiative (www.transport2020) is preparing a database with at least 365 examples of actions on transport and climate change. The 365 campaign is complementary the 80 Days Campaign whereby the 365 campaign will provide examples from a wider range of action on transport, climate change and sustainable development. The 365 campaign has a stronger emphasis on building a search and retrieval system than the 80 Days Campaign. This positions the 365 campaign well to serve beyond COP21 as a key knowledge base on effective and inspiring action on transport and climate change. C. Online – Digital Outreach Channels PPMC
1. www.ppmc-cop21.org
The primary outreach tool is the PPMC website, which was launched in May 2015. Content of the website will be gradually built up in the period up to COP21. Language of the website will be English but key documents (e.g. news releases) may be translated in other languages. 2.
Twitter #ppmc
Main social media tool for the PPMC will be twitter. PPMC Secretariat will encourage as many organizations as possible to make use of the #ppmc. It was decided not to create a separate twitter account for the PPMC but rather to encourage organizations to refer to PPMC within their existing tweet streams. D. “Traditional” PPMC Outreach
1.
Banners and Flyers
2.
Transport and Mobility related Booths during COP21
A series of PPMC banners and flyers will be prepared to disseminate key PPMC messages and in support of PPMC events, especially during COP21. The PPMC Secretariat is looking at the possibility of a series of eye-­‐catching large posters/banners at the entry to the COP21 venue. The PPMC Secretariat is encouraging as many as possible organizations accredited with the UNFCCC to apply for a booth in the official blue zone of COP21 (the main habitat for COP21 negotiators). In addition, once more clarity exists on the set-­‐up of the Civil Society Village at COP21 plans will be made to ensure a PPMC presence there as well. While individual organizations are expected to take charge of a booth in the “blue-­‐zone” or the Civil Society Village efforts will be made to use these booths for collective outreach on PPMC activities and products. 3.
PPMC hand-outs
In previous years the SLoCaT Partnership had a gimmick as a hand out during COP meetings to advertise its activities on transport during the COP meetings. In 2013 a scarf and in 2014 a bracelet were distributed. Discussions are ongoing whether to repeat the 2013 scarfs, which could be quite appropriate considering the December weather in Paris France.

PPMC Coordination
The PPMC was initiated as an open and inclusive platform, which aims to bring together all those organizations and initiatives that have a common interest to raise the profile of transport vis-­‐à-­‐vis UNFCCC and COP21. The PPMC is actively seeking cooperation with partner organizations and initiatives and potential sponsors of the PPMC. Now that the planning of the PPMC is being firmed up it is possible to provide an overview of all the different PPMC activities and events that partners and sponsors of the PPMC can engage in (see Annex 2). This also applies to the supporters of MCB and SLoCaT Foundation who are also expected to actively engage in the PPMC. A. PPMC Partners, PPMC Sponsors and Supporters of SLoCaT and
MCB
1. PPMC Partners
To broaden the engagement in the PPMC beyond the members of the SLoCaT Partnership and the MCB an opportunity has been created for organizations, networks and initiatives to partner with the PPMC. Partners in the PPMC are expected to contribute to one or more of the components of the PPMC. There are no financial obligations for PPMC Partners and their support for the PPMC does not constitute any obligations towards either the SLoCaT Partnership or MCB. PPMC Partners will be listed on the PPMC website with their logo as well as a short description of the contribution of concerned Partner together with contact information. PPMC Partners will be updated on regular basis on the implementation of the PPMC by periodic e-­‐mail updates and they will be invited to contribute to the further planning of the PPMC through participation in periodic PPMC Conference calls. For the time being three categories of PPMC Partners are suggested: • Organizations that act as facilitators/coordinators of Transport Initiatives under the LPAA Action Area. This will give the LPAA Transport Initiatives the prominence they deserve and it also will give them reason to actively engage with the PPMC as part of their outreach; • Regional and Global Transport Forums. There are currently four regional and global transport forums: Africa Sustainable Transport Forum, the International Transport Forum, THE PEP – the Transport, Health and Environment Pan-­‐European Programme, and the Regional Environmental and Sustainable Transport Forum in Asia. All these four forums have well established linkages to transport and often environment ministries and these regional and global forums can be great assets in drawing these ministries into the discussions on transport and climate change (as was done for example by ITF in May, 2015 in Leipzig); • Others. This covers a wide range of organizations that have an interest in undertaking, or contributing to activities on transport and climate change in the context of COP21. Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 32 Version September 9th 2015 Annex 2 gives an overview of the potential first batch of PPMC Partners. It is envisaged that the first group of PPMC Partners will be documented on the PPMC website by late July. Following this initial posting updates will be made as and when needed. It is envisaged that the PPMC will have between 20 -­‐30Partners by the time of COP21. 2. PPMC Sponsors
External organizations can also engage with the PPMC as sponsors (http://ppmc-­‐
cop21.org/sponsors.html). Three different levels of sponsorship are distinguished: diamond, platinum and gold. In addition to contributing financially to the implementation of the PPMC, sponsors will also be offered to make substantive contributions to the PPMC provided that this does not include commercial promotion for the company or its products in the case of private sector sponsors. PPMC Sponsors will also receive the periodic PPMC updates and will be invited to take part in PPMC conference calls. Sponsors will be acknowledged through their logo on the PPMC website as well as in other outreach materials of the PPMC and short profiles of donor organizations will be set up on the PPMC website. The first batch of PPMC Sponsors will be announced by late-­‐July. 3. Acknowledgement of MCB and SLoCaT Foundation supporters
The PPMC will acknowledge the support of financial supporters of MCB and the SLoCaT Foundation in a separate category of PPMC supporters. This creates ties between these organizations and the PPMC but at the same time clarifies their position as being different from PPMC partners and sponsors, who are making a special effort to be part of the PPMC. B. PPMC – LPAA Coordination
As indicated the PPMC is aligning itself with the COP21 objectives of the French Presidency. The Action Agenda for non-­‐state actors, embodied in the Lima Paris Action Agenda (LPAA) is an important component of these COP21 objectives of the French Presidency. The LPAA builds on the outcomes of UN Secretary-­‐General’s Climate Summit (New York, September 2014) and was established through Decision 1/CP.20 ‘Lima Call for Climate Action’: “The Conference of Parties […] encourages the Executive Secretary and the President of the Conference of the Parties to convene an annual high level event on enhancing implementation of climate action”. Objectives of Lima Paris Action Agenda Constitute a broad platform of selected multi sectoral cooperative initiatives from the SG Climate Summit (as well as new additional initiatives), with the view to: -­‐ Showcasing progress made under the most promising initiatives and supporting their extension and replication -­‐ Encouraging new substantial commitments from new initiatives and actors, in all sectors -­‐ Promoting cross-­‐sectoral multi-­‐stakeholder collaboration Comments to: cornie.huizenga@slocatpartnership.org and patrick.oliva@fr.michelin.com 33 Version September 9th 2015 -­‐

Highlighting linkages with SDGs Building political momentum and bringing ‘the real world’ in climate negotiations Ensuring the continuity and strengthening of the Action Agenda beyond Paris All activities undertaken by PPMC in support of the LPAA will be at the request of the Lead of the Transport Action Area of the LPAA. The PPMC’s role vis-­‐à-­‐vis the LPAA focuses on outreach for the Transport Action Area of the LPAA. It includes: • Assist in outreach on LPAA Initiatives through the PPMC website as well as social media outreach tools of the SLoCaT Partnership; • Provide a platform for LPAA Initiatives in events organized under PPMC auspices, before and during COP21. This can include dedicated events like the proposed Private Sector Round Table in support of the LPAA Initiatives; • Assist in the organization of the COP21 Thematic Day on Transport (Transport Focus) during COP21; • Assist in knowledge management related activities linked to the Transport Initiatives under the LPAA; • Other to-­‐be-­‐determined support for the Transport Action Area requested by the LPAA. To ensure a smooth coordination and cooperation the PPMC Secretariat (represented by the SLoCaT Partnership and/or MCB) takes part in the periodic consultation calls of the LPAA Transport Action Area. In addition the PPMC Secretariat (represented by the SLoCaT Partnership and/or MCB) also takes part in internal coordination calls of the Secretariat of the Transport Action Area of the LPAA. V. Review and Update
This Plan of Operations will be updated on an ongoing basis and shared on a periodic (monthly) basis with PPMC Partners and Sponsors and other interested organizations.
