Keynote
As an internationally renowned expert for sustainability transitions, Dr. Messner reflects on Germany’s transport GHG emissions and mitigation measures, on the impacts of the pandemic on mobility patterns, and on the paradigm of a green recovery for Germany and the world.
High-Level Panel Discussion
Reset your agenda by listening to an insightful conversation between leaders from Europe, Africa and Asia on the link between transport decarbonisation and socio-economic post COVID-19 recovery. Get inspired by their good practices and ideas and share your thoughts. The calls for a green recovery from the pandemic crisis are loud and clear. The dual challenge of recovery and decarbonisation must be tackled in an integrated way. However, is it realistic to expect countries to spend more and more for sustainable transport when public debt is rapidly increasing and when other development priorities are just as urgent? What role could pricing policies play for changing transport systems? What new mindsets should transport policymakers adopt now to open doors for a decarbonisation?

The term “German Energiewende” has gained enormous popularity worldwide. Analogously, the term “Verkehrswende” (engl. transport transformation) is used to transfer the concept from the energy sector to the transport sector. Although there is no lack of important insights and good arguments, the transition has still been a long time coming. In order to make important information accessible to a larger target group, AGORA Verkehrswende decided to experiment together with Ellery Studio and created the infographic novella on the transport turnaround, called “Future Ahoy!”. How can communication contribute to the Transport Transformation? And what is needed in order to reach a broader traget group on that topic?

Shift Day
In many cities, mass rapid transit and bus rapid transit are the centrepieces of the public transport strategy. However, new mobility solution providers are increasingly disrupting the traditional transport patterns. In particular authorities remain in need for solutions for the sustainable integration of those new mobility services, e. g. ride-hailing or smart bike-sharing, into the overall mobility systems and Mobility-as-a-Service platforms. This session discusses how the governance of new mobility services could contribute to more sustainable and climate-friendly transport and better cities. In short presentations, the panellists will highlight different aspects of governing new mobility services in Asia. In a future lab the participants will discuss what new mobility services governance can trigger modal shift to sustainable modes.

Publication launch and Discussion on the outcomes
Co-Organised by
- Transition to energy efficient buses from ICE buses to meet an overall objective of using cleaner modes in public transportation and to meet NDCs and Target 11.2 of SDG
- Understand the initiatives being taken-up for bridging the demand-supply gap in urban buses
- Experiences from early adoption of electric buses in Indian cities
- Hydrogen as alternate fuel
- Increase adoption of electric buses through upskilling of PTAs’ capacities
Currently, India has approximately 66,000 buses in cities operating under organized and unorganized sector. According to the current demand, urban India would require approximately 1,22,000 buses. As we advance, India can convert this into an opportunity by leapfrogging the deficit with new energy-efficient buses (e.g., EURO-VI buses, e-buses, hydrogen fuel cell buses) that supplement climate goals. Various ministries under Government of India (GoI) have initiated schemes and programs to bridge the current demand supply gap and to strengthen public transport infrastructure in the country’s urban centers. GoI under its FAME II scheme had sanctioned 5595 electric buses to various bus transport agencies across cities and states in India for intra-city and intercity operation. To further push the clean mobility agenda, an amount of INR 180 billion (≈ Euro 2 billion) has been allocated under GoI’s latest budget announcement, for augmentation of public transport services in the country. This will enable deployment of innovative PPP models to enable private players to finance, acquire, operate, maintain over 20,000 buses. In addition to this, National Hydrogen Energy Mission (NHM) has also been announced which will draw up a road map for using hydrogen as an energy source. Not only ministries at national level but states are also coming forward in a big way to support this transition, e.g., State of Kerala has recently announced introduction of 10 hydogen powered buses on pilot basis to promote eco-friendly modes of transport. The session will, therefore, focus on discussions related to promotion of cleaner and greener bus transport in India. We will also share the findings from the “Training Needs Assessment for Electric Buses in India” study which identifies the capacity building and training requirements of various PTAs transitioning from ICE buses to electric buses followed by a high level panel discussion with experts in government and industry.
| Opening & Welcome Juergen Baumann, Project Director, SMART-SUT – Project introduction and a glimpse into future GIZ activities under electric mobility – A brief on the Training Needs Assessment for Electric Buses in India study – Role of Stakeholders on energy efficient bus deployment in India |

Improve & Fuel Day
Co-organised by:
This session will discuss the state of electric 2&3 wheelers in Southeast Asia and highlight perspectives from the people on the ground. The ASEAN region is home to 650 million people with high rates of urbanization and motorization driving severe air pollution, traffic jams, and fossil fuel consumption. Most motorised trips in Southeast Asia are on motorized two wheelers, which remain often insufficiently integrated in urban transport. The growth of e-commerce has made motorbike deliveries indispensable. Electrifying 2&3 wheelers will help make cities more sustainable especially when properly integrated into the urban transport system.

After a period in which transport emissions were forecasted to grow exponentially in the period up to 2050, new evidence points at a growth that would be more restrained. This is also shown in various recent international modelling studies. Based on information collected and presented in the ADB supported Asian Transport Outlook , the presentation will describe recent trends in transport GHG emissions for the Asia Pacific region. It will look at a number of underlying trends to answer the question how likely it is that the transport sector in the Asia Region is on its way towards decarbonization and making its due contribution to the full implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

The future of flying must be green. In recent decades, aviation has been the fastest growing transport sector. Yet, it accounts for approximately 4% of global carbon emissions and 12% of all CO2 emissions from the wider transportation sector. Moreover, non-CO2 emissions form up to two thirds of its climate impact. This comes alongside a variety of hazardous environmental and health effects. How can future fuels such as Power to Liquid/eFuels contribute to a sustainable transformation? What are the limits of technological pathways? And how can sustainable aviation fuels represent a chance for GIZ’s partner countries to tap into economic potentials? Moderated by the Head of GIZ’s International PtX Hub, Torsten Schwab, leading voices from the World Economic Forum, GIZ, Transport & Environment, Deutsche Post DHL Group and Neste will discuss how aviation should “go green”. As this is an interactive event, members of the audience are invited to raise their voices and pose questions to the panellists.

Webinar
Organised by MobiliseYourCity, AFD, Codatu, Global Partnership for Informal Transport, SSATP, World Business Council for Sustainable Development
- Learn about a comprehensive list of measures that can be employed to reform the paratransit sector, and which digital tools are available to support you in this process.
- Discover the most important digital technologies and their applications in the paratransit sector (Mapping, fare integration, user applications, and platforms for data sharing between public and private sectors)
- Reflect on the opportunities of public and private sector collaboration through the use of digital technologies, and their particular needs and interests.
This session will provide an overview of valuable measures and digital technologies that can be used by decision-makers and mobility practitioners to modernize paratransit. We will explore the manifold benefits, but also potential challenges in their implementation from the perspective of key actors, including the private and paratransit sectors.
Digital technologies are proving very useful tools to modernize a sector otherwise commonly known for its unyielding nature. The mapping of operators and routes, and the global expansion of ride-sharing platforms are two of the most prominent technologies being employed by both private and public actors to transform paratransit. But there are more technologies and applications waiting to be discovered, scaled, and replicated to support paratransit reduce its notorious externalities and potentiate its great benefits.
| Opening & Welcome Facilitator: Mateo Gomez Introduction to participants and objective of the session |
| Keynote speech Benjamin de la Pena (Global Partnership for Informal Transport) – Introduction to the paratransit sector – Why do we need a narrative shift in how we think about paratransit? – The Global Partnership for Informal Transport |
