Regional & Global Work
Increasing regional and global ambitions to decarbonize transport
Through its in-country work, the NDC-TIA will produce key lessons for stakeholders interested in decarbonizing transit. Sharing these lessons will help raise ambitions around the world.
The NDC-TIA will share knowledge at a regional and global level through events, media and publications related to designing and implementing long-term, multi-stakeholder strategies for decarbonizing transport. This knowledge sharing will both enable diverse stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding decarbonization and shift the narrative towards sustainable transport. To ensure high-level engagement, this work will be coordinated closely with regional and global organizations and events.
Key Outputs
Output 1
Publish knowledge products and a flagship report to share lessons learned about implementing ambitious, integrated transportation decarbonization strategies.
Output 2
Increase discussion around long-term, multi-stakeholder, integrated approaches to decarbonizing transportation.
Output 3
China, India and Vietnam share their experiences on the global level to support increased international commitments.
Thailand
Thailand aims for carbon neutrality by 2050 and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2065. NDC-TIA supports the Ministry of Transport’s Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning in improving emissions and mitigation modelling as well as scenario development for updating and aligning action plans with carbon neutrality goals.
Strategic Partner
Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning, Ministry of Transport
The Phillippines
The Philippines have yet to set a net-zero target. NDC-TIA works with the Department of Transportation and local partner institutions to align objectives and develop a stakeholder dialogue on long-term transport decarbonization strategies.
