Putting transport at the center of climate action at COP20 climate dialogues
As world leaders convene in Lima, Peru to outline an international climate agreement, low-carbon urban transport makes its way onto the agenda
At long last, cities are firmly on the agenda at international climate discussions, and it is increasingly clear that cities cannot address their greenhouse gas emissions without focusing on emissions from transport. COP20 in Lima, Peru is a major milestone on the path to establishing an international climate agreement expected to be reached at COP21 in Paris in 2015. International leaders are looking for win-win investment opportunities to curb greenhouse emissions and deliver on local social and economic development goals.
