Transport is recognised as a key contributing factor to Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, compared to other issues like deforestation or energy, transport plays a minor role under the current regime and in the negotiations of the Post-Kyoto process. There is recognition that transport is a significant part of the solution and many transport related organisations are discussing the links between transport and climate change. One of the main barriers to achieving an effective link between transport and climate change, is a clear understanding of the different negotiation streams and how to develop a clear targeted strategy to integrate transport into the current negotiations.

GTZ, UK's Transport Research Laboratory (TRL), Veolia Environnement and the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) are working to facilitate the process in 2009 to improve the link between the transport sector and the climate change negotiations. This website provides an overview of our activities, and information on related upcoming events.
