NITI Aayog and World Resources Institute, India, jointly launched the ‘Forum for Decarbonizing Transport’ in India as part of the NDC-Transport Initiative for Asia project. The project aims at bringing down the peak level of GHG emissions (transport sector) in Asia (in line with a well below 2-degree pathway), resulting in problems like congestion and air pollution.
The Forum for Decorbonication of Transport will act as the conduit for bringing diverse voices and needs to adopt an integrated approach for greening the transport sector in India. India has a massive and diverse transport sector, which is also the third most CO2 emitting sector. According to IEA and Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change road transport contributes to more than 90% of the total CO2 emissions.
Through various policy measures and initiatives, the Government of India is continuously working towards the decarbonisation of road transport, with a major focus on the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the country.
The NDC Transport Initiative for Asia is a joint programme of seven organisations that will engage China, India, and Vietnam in promoting a comprehensive approach to decarbonizing transport in their respective countries. It is funded by the International Climate Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety. NITI Aayog is the implementing partner for the India component of the project.
