Transport Working Group
The Transport Working Group (TWG) has been working since 2014 to build a global low-emission and resilient transport community, supporting champions and innovators, linking networks of low-emission transport experts, and exploring opportunities for collaboration at the local, national, regional and global levels.
Aligned with the objectives of LEDS GP, the TWG pays special attention to providing value to countries to:
- Assist in the implementation of low-carbon and resilient transport initiatives to address barriers and obstacles;
- Support national-subnational coordination for the effective implementation of transport NDCs at the local level;
- Improve the quality and ambition of NDCs, including transportation initiatives;
- Encourage more countries to incorporate transport in their NDCs.
Priority Areas
How We Work
The Transport Working Group builds global and regional expertise in the decarboniation and electrification of transport. We focus on coordinating workshops, providing technical assistance, facilitating peer learning events, developing case studies, and producing guideline documents.
The Working Group has launched four regional initiatives in the Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean regions. The three different transport Communities of Practice are spaces for members interested in a specific topic and region to regularly learn from peers, exchange knowledge, co-design solutions, receive technical assistance, connect with others, and pilot ideas. Communities of practice are demand driven and evolve dynamically to meet their members’ needs. The Clean Mobility High Ambition Leadership Group is a highly specialized cohort of Asian transport ministries working together to create national transport decarbonization frameworks.
Regional Initiatives
Electric Mobility Community of Practice (LAC)
Coordinated by our LAC LEDS Partnership and focuses on:
Developing regulatory frameworks for the electrification of public transit fleets and broader electric mobility adoption. Facilitating coordination and peer to peer learning between regional clean mobility leaders, the public sector, and private sector.
Sustainable Logistics Community of Practice (LAC)
Coordinated by our LAC LEDS Partnership and focuses on:
Decarbonizing freight transport through peer to peer learning, case study development, and technical assistance.
Clean Mobility Community of Practice (Asia)
Coordinated by our Asia LEDS Partnership and focuses on:
Public transportation electrification and energy efficiency in transportation through policy, financing, and technical challenges.
Clean Mobility High Ambition Leadership Group (Asia)
Coordinated by our Asia LEDS Partnership and focuses on:
Regional and multilateral exchange between transport ministries, ultimately leading to the implementation of integrated transport decarbonization frameworks.
