Side Event by ADB
Information from the Asian Transport Outlook indicates that 560 million people in Asia lack access to an all-weather road within 2 km (SDG 9.1.1.) and an estimated 1.3 billion people in urban areas do not have access to modern, efficient public transport (SDG 11.2). At the same time CO2 emissions from transport in Asia are the fastest growing sector of emissions and are expected to continue to grow. Is it possible to develop and implement transport policies in Asia that will develop the transport sector and at the same time decarbonize the transport sector?

Side Event by UNFCCC
Solid methodologies for developing an emission mitigation scenario in the transport sector becomes more and more important – especially as the new reporting format to the climate secretariat (UNFCCC) introduce common formats by 2024. What are these formats, which information and data are required and how to build a standardised baseline are crucial questions for countries. The training will provide an introduction to the topics of Biennial Transparency reports, baselines, methodologies and opportunities to apply these within the session with guidance by UNFCCC experts.

Side Event by REN21
Transport globally accounts for nearly one-third of total final energy demand and about one-quarter of the global energy-related CO2 emissions. For the sake of our health, environment, and climate we need to rethink solutions that support environmental, social, and economic sustainability while meeting the surging demand for mobility worldwide and ensuring access for all.
What should be the fuel mix of a sustainable transport systems? What role can renewables play? Should we look for global or local solutions to meet energy needs of the transport system? This panel will bring together experts from science, politics, transport, and energy sectors to discuss the potential of renewables in achieving sustainable transport.

Side Event by UIC - International Union of Railways
Transport carbon emissions are set to increase by 60 percent in 2050 from 2015 levels, while they should decrease by over two thirds in a below 2°C scenario. A Paris-compliant sustainable mobility system will not be possible without the rail and public transport sectors. Considering the low energy and CO2 intensities of rail transport, shifting passenger and freight activity from more intensive modes such as private cars, trucks and airplanes to rail and public transport is a key strategy for net zero alignment. Investments in railways produce several multiple socioeconomic benefits such as job creation, urban revitalization, cleaner air, among many others that are not always easy to estimate and quantify. In this session, we hear from experts in the industry and in the finance sector on the return on investment in rail to society and how an enabling policy environment can get us there.
Side Event by C40, ICCT, ITDP, GIZ/TUMI, WRI
The objective of the workshop is to increase engagement from cities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America to join the action towards the electrification of public transport. The TUMI E-Bus Mission coalition partners offer a broad support for stakeholders at city administrations, transport authorities, private and public transport operators, investors, and financing institutions planning and implementing e-bus adoption. The workshop will present an overview of the approach and specific offers and opportunities to join.

Side Event by PtX Hub
In order to become truly climate neutral by 2050, we must reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and aim to operate free from emissions. Though the goal is to use 100% renewable energy, there are some industries that cannot yet directly electrify to become climate neutral. This is where Power-to-X comes into play. Power-to- X enables us to produce anything dependent on fossil fuels with renewable electricity and carbon. These sustainable and climate-neutral e-fuels can defossilise high emissions sectors. The PtX Hub works with partners in the public and private sector to leverage these potentials: to start the transformation towards climate-neutral industries and economies now, everywhere, in parallel, and fast. In this session, the PtX Hub invites experts to present on the sustainability potential of PtX and its use and benefits in the shipping and aviation industries.

Side Event by ClimateAnalytics
Emissions from passenger transport in many eastern European countries have increased dramatically over the last two decades. In some cases, such as Poland, they have almost doubled since 2000. Under the EU law, member states have national, legally binding, emissions reduction targets for sectors including transport. The Transport Emissions Disaggregation Tool (TEDiT) aims to facilitate policy making by helping stakeholders to better understand the main drivers of emissions from this sector, and to identify policy gaps and overlaps. This approach allows for more effective and efficient transport policy that increases mobility options while decreasing emissions. The TEDiT can therefore be a useful tool in developing sustainable mobility plans and facilitating smart mobility management. At this online event, representatives of the “EUKI Beyond Best Practices in Passenger Transport”” project present the tool and selected good practices from Poland, Lithuania, and Romania.

Workshop by ITDP and UNEP
English (with French translation)
Many cities across the African continent have a large percentage of walking and cycling as the main mode for trips. However, these cities often lack the infrastructure to make active mobility safe and comfortable. Apart from easing congestion, walking and cycling have significant health and economic benefits, they foster communities and let local businesses thrive. In order to shift from the current car-centric infrastructure designs, there is need to plan and finance roadmaps and strategies to actively prioritise non-motorised transport. Speakers will share their experience in developing and implenenting strategies for active mobility, among them infrastructure design and bikeshare programs, and discuss the challenges and opportunities of financing active mobility.

Workshop by MobiliseYourCity
French (with English translation)
In many African cities, it is the paratransit sector that keeps people moving. To shape transport for greater efficiency, city governments are building up formal public transport services. This requires public services in charge of regulating paratransit and formalized services to integrate and algin their activities. The workshop will provide insights on how to establish a public transport authority fit for managing formal transport services, and at the same time working with the paratransit sector to shape a city’s transportation services.

Panel discussion
The field of transport has traditionally been viewed as a profession for men, despite transportation being a necessity for all and despite studies showing that women and men have different travel considerations and behaviours. There is a clear need to recognize and empower women—as users, workers, planners, decisionmakers—in the sector, to help ensure that our transport systems will be safer and better for everyone. However, this shift in perspective can be difficult to implement. In some instances, focus on safety has led to women-only public transport vehicles, or focus on diversity has led to gender quotas for panel and boards. This panel discussion will bring together experts and practitioners to discuss if these policies are truly beneficial and, if they are, how they can be successfully implemented without losing sight of the goal for equality.
In cooperation with Women on the Move, Women Mobilize Women, Women in Green Hydrogen and Women in Transport Leadership.
