ASEAN – Efficiency and Climate Change Mitigation for the Land Transport Sector
The overall objective of the project is to: “Improve the conditions for the implementation of measures to increase energy efficiency and reduce climate relevant emissions from the land transport sector in the ASEAN region at the regional and national level.” The project thus focuses on: The project work is based on three topical pillars: In order to achieve this, the project works together with relevant policymakers in the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, as well as the ASEAN Secretariat including relevant Working Groups such as the ASEAN Working Group on Climate Change (AWGCC), the Land Transport Working Group (LTWG), and the Transport Facilitation Working Group (TFWG).
At the ASEAN regional level, the project organises and facilitates regional exchange on transport-NAMAs. In Thailand, the project supported the development of the “People-centred Urban Mobility NAMA, which is now seeking international funding to support its implementation. This project focuses on shift, improve and fuel switch measures that create climate and people-friendly mobility systems. Important objectives are: technology innovation for a transformation of the bus fleet to low-carbon buses and a system change to low-carbon and intermodal mobility by integration of bus and non-motorised transport with rail-based urban transport. The concept note is finalised and will be submitted to the UNFCCC NAMA registry within 2016. In Vietnam, the project is supporting the Ministries of Transport and Environment in the identification and prioritisation of options for NAMAs in the transport sector. In Malaysia, the development of a NAMA proposal on energy-efficient two-wheelers was supported, and a workshop on (Regional) Sustainable Transport Indictors is being planned. In the Philippines and Indonesia, the project works together with other initiatives on MRV and NAMA development.
