As #COP28 nears its end, Mary Robinson calls on countries to step up with the courageous leadership required to tackle the #ClimateCrisis: “Those at the negotiating table at COP28 are steering the course of our shared future: their success or failure will resonate for generations. I fear COP28 is falling short of what is required to stay within the 1.5°C warming threshold. The science tells us we are in grave danger of bequeathing our children a completely unliveable world. There are countries here with the capacity to ensure the outcome of this summit is historic for the right reasons. They need to lean in now with ambition and urgency. COP28 presents an opportunity for leaders to be on the right side of history. Nations obstructing a liveable future must abandon their subterfuge. The nations thwarting progress are those with the greatest stakes in fossil fuels but also the most plentiful resources to act. Saudi Arabia and allies are holding talks hostage. However it is not the only country hindering progress: the USA, China, the EU and India have been happy to hide in the shadows cast. There is still time for these countries to step up with the courageous leadership required to tackle this existential threat. Governments must not leave this summit without an agreement to phase out all fossil fuels and this agreement must not be at the expense of other critical workstreams here. COP28 will leave a legacy that those here in Dubai will be remembered for: I call on all Parties and the COP Presidency to make sure it is the right one.”

🚍 🌱 “Visioning to Implementation” examines Asia's transport & climate strategies, focusing on China, India & Vietnam. A must-read for policymakers. Dive into the findings: bit.ly/417qV12 @BMWK, @iki_germany, @giztransport, @ITF_Forum, @ITF_Forum, @REN21 #NDCTIA #NDC

🆕 Asia's transport emissions have skyrocketed, making it a critical region for climate action. Our new report examines effective strategies for slashing #transport emissions from #China, #India and #Vietnam - explore the findings: bit.ly/417qV12

🚉 Join us at #COP28 to learn how Asia is making transport greener and cleaner. Learn about the role of public transport, electric mobility and modal shifts in achieving NDC goals, and discover new, eco-friendly travel options in Asia. 📅 Dec 5 ⏰ 3:30 p.m. GMT+4 📍 NDC Pavilion

@JaarliKauppi Global #Transport CO2 emissions projections for reference/BAU scenario - updated with #ITF2023 and @ClimateWorks 2023 projections @_dmoser @CornieHuizenga @cityemissions @giztransport @WRIRossCities @ITDP_HQ

Urban mode shares for high ambition emissions reduction to meet Paris goals, in @ITF Transport Outlook, released at #ITF23. These small changes in reducing private vehicle travel should not be a hard thing to achieve, yet current policies are not delivering.

The problem with transport & climate, neatly summarised by @ITF_Forum itf-oecd.org/itf-transport-… "All decarbonisation measures currently in place & already committed to will reduce global transport CO2 emissions by only 3% by 2050". Missing by a wide margin the 1.5C targets. ⬇️⬇️

Exciting news! 📣 Join the launch of #TransportDataCommons featuring outstanding speakers who are ready to inspire and enlighten you! Don't miss out and register now to attend the #ITF23 media event online on 25 May ➡️ bit.ly/3pBidJG #transportdata #wechangetransport

We @WRIRossCities had pleasure to work with these partner orgs on updated how-to guide on zero emissions zones. Launching at @ITF_Forum

We look forward to joining @TUMInitiative for their TUMI Conference: Feminist Voices in Transport at #ITF23 tomorrow. Greater attention to gender in transport is crucial to providing equitable and sustainable transport! Learn more 🔗➡️ bit.ly/3q5b98F @ITF_Forum
