Series 1 in Chile | Full speed on NDCs: Sharing progress on low-emissions transport

Transport sector is a key aspect of the region’s efforts to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. Out of the 25 countries supported by the Climate Promise in LAC, 20 have included low-emissions transport strategies in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Moreover, all the climate change Long-Term Strategies submitted by countries in LAC to the UNFCCC consider low-emissions transport as a key sector for achieving decarbonization. Many countries, like Chile, Colombia and Uruguay, are already implementing these solutions to achieve their Net Zero goals.
To accelerate and strengthen the critical transition to e-mobility in LAC, UNDP hosted an international exchange, with participation from 20 countries in the region, as well as countries from Asia Pacific, where several low-emissions transport initiatives are being supported by UNDP and financed by the Japan Supplementary Budget. Representatives from the private sector and government officials from key sectors such as finance, energy and transport also took part.
