Abstract:

The Council for Decarbonizing Transport in Asia brings together recognized experts, practitioners, and thought leaders from academia, civil society, business, and financial institutions from the Asian region to promote critical dialogue on achieving zero-carbon transport. The council elevates robust and practical solutions that further the goal of making transport climate friendly, safe and accessible. As an expert group that brings together diverse perspectives and experience, the council seeks to highlight “blind spots” in the effort to transform the transport sector. To achieve these goals, the council members participate regularly in virtual events and focus-group discussions. In 2022, the council will publish a Flagship Report to share its recommendations for decarbonized transport. Following this publication, the council members will support the NDC-TIA in consulting with decision-makers to inspire to action.
