Initiatives and Partnerships

The main goal of the transport Initiatives and Partnerships is to find and implement sustainable pathways that limit greenhouse gas emissions and minimize other negative consequences without compromising economic growth and social inclusion.

Transport Initiatives and Partnerships aim to:
1. Better integrate transport into national and international climate negotiations.
2. Better integrate climate change into national and international transport policies.

The gTKP is involved in a number of Initiatives and Partnerships around the world and this section provides the related links and information.

 

Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI)

C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group

The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, now in its 10th year, connects more than 80 of the world’s greatest cities, representing over 600 million people and one quarter of the global economy. Created and led by cities, C40 is focused on tackling climate change and driving urban action that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and climate risks, while increasing the health, wellbeing and economic opportunities of urban citizens.

 

Convention of the Parties (COP)

The COP is the supreme decision-making body of the Convention. A key task for the COP is to review the national communications and emission inventories submitted by Parties. Based on this information, the COP assesses the effects of the measures taken by Parties and the progress made in achieving the ultimate objective of the Convention. The COP meets every year, unless the Parties decide otherwise.
