Focus on decarbonisation of transport: how to leverage multi-level governance to implement sustainable transport policies? #ITF24

[Young Tae KIM 🌏 @Young_T_KIM]

I am in Geneva for the @UNECE annual #ICT meeting - a great opportunity to meet with ExSec @Tatiana_Molcean. We discussed UNECE's new #decarbonisation strategy and plans for #COP29 - building on the #transport-#energy-nexus Ministerial @ITF_Forum organised at #COP28.

Earlier at #COP28, we explored progress in decarbonising human settlements and #transport, including as a demand sector for clean energy.

[International #Transport Forum 🌎 @ITF_Forum]

Thanks to all for a great #COP28 session on how #roadsafety interventions help achieve #climate goals 🎯

See different decarbonisation policies' effect on traffic crash risk in the 2023 transport Outlook 👉🏾 https://t.co/sN2Wj5Igiu

[Young Tae KIM 🌏 @Young_T_KIM]

Transport's vital role underpinning trade and development made for vibrant discussions with @UNCTAD Shamika N. Sirimanne and team. The #ITF23 Summit on "Transport Enabling Sustainable Economies" will help to design the policies we need for the future 🐣 https://t.co/1CZK4X0V0W

[Young Tae KIM 🌏 @Young_T_KIM]

Good transport means #HealthForAll ❤️ It was my honour to meet @DrTedros @WHO 🙏🏽

Of course, we talked #Covid19. We also look forward to a new relationship between our two organisations, going beyond our essential #RoadSafety work 👉🏽 https://t.co/JwOVcQCr7x @UNECE @gabbystern

[Young Tae KIM 🌏 @Young_T_KIM]

Better connectivity benefits everyone 🌐 #ICT are the powerhouse to bridge the #DigitalDivide, with #transport set to benefit hugely.

Thanks to our @ITU colleagues for insightful and futuristic discussions! See our latest #AI work here 🧠 https://t.co/8V5B5nxp5A @UNECE

[Tomas Lamanauskas @tlamanauskas]

🙏 @Young_T_KIM for a very insightful discussion on #SmartTransport, importance of #connectivity + #AI for #TransportSafety

Clearly lots of potential to enhance collaboration between @ITU & @ITF_Forum

[Ahmed Samir Elbermbali @ahmedelbermbali]

Welcome onboard @beeahgroup . Glad to see UAE companies showing commitment to the transition to zero emission vehicles!

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change.

There is no energy security without investing in renewables.

That is why I will attend @COP27P next week: to deliver on Glasgow's legacy of building a secure and sustainable future.

[Olivia Wessendorff @oliviawess]

Historic!

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

Europe is embracing the shift to zero-emission mobility.

By 2035, all new cars and vans registered in Europe will be zero-emission.

We welcome the agreement reached by the @Europarl_EN and the @EUCouncil.

[Frans Timmermans @F__Timmermans]

We have a deal!

It’s no wonder the first #Fitfor55 deal is on the CO2 car standards: the pace of change in the past years has been truly remarkable.

EU car industry is ready, consumers are eager to embrace zero-emission mobility. So let’s go full speed ahead!

#EUGreenDeal

[Jan Huitema @jhuitema]

We did it, we hebben een deal! Vanaf 2035 zijn nieuwe auto's en bestelwagens klimaatvriendelijk en worden schone auto’s toegankelijker voor iedereen.

[Rt Hon Lord Alok Sharma @AlokSharma_RDG]

This week I was at #UNGA 🇺🇳 and #NewYorkClimateWeek to call for full implementation of the #GlasgowClimatePact

We must step up #climateaction ahead of #COP27 🇪🇬

Watch the wrap up here 👇🏼

[Rt Hon Lord Alok Sharma @AlokSharma_RDG]

Pleased to announce at #ClimateWeekNYC that 198 signatories are now transitioning to zero emission vehicles under the #COP26 ZEV Declaration

I also chaired a roundtable on this week's #BreakthroughAgenda Report recommendations

We must act now across sectors to keep 1.5 alive
