Transport NAMAs: An Overview

Transport Nationally Appropraite Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) cover a wide range of activities. They can be local, regional or national policies, projects or strategies - indeed any intervention, either new or existing, stand-alone or "bundled," sector specific or economy-wide, that can be shown to reduce emissions from a business as usual scenario. The [Bridging the Gap](http://www.transport2020.org/) report on Transport NAMAs: An Overview by authors Anne Binsted, Benoit Lefevre, Camille Cauchois and André Eckermann gives an overview of transport NAMA feasibility studies, concepts and proposals as well as recent developments in initiatives supporting NAMAs. The report aims to increase awareness of the wide range of transport NAMA activities that are taking place, and to encourage related discussions and further engagement with the concept between developing countries, potential financiers, and the wider technical community. Check out Transport NAMAs from all over the world in our new [Transport NAMA Database](http://www.transport-namadatabase.org/) The Transport NAMA Database is an interactive wiki-based portal that provides access to Transport NAMAs. The database is the first resource to present information about Transport NAMAs in an easily accessible way. It contains a wide-range of information about Transport NAMAs that give users an in-depth insight into the main characteristics and processes behind the featured Transport NAMAs, including the policy identification process, mitigation actions, sustainable development benefits, measurement reporting verification (MRV), financing, and the registration process. The NAMA Database is an open platform for collaboration and knowledge-sharing. This version of the Transport NAMA Database is a prototype version for comment. We would appreciate your feedback in order to improve the database and better tailor it to user needs. Please send your feedback to [transfer@giz.de](mailto:transfer@giz.de).
