Ramping up the Ambition of Transport-Related Climate Policy Targets in Asia and the Pacific

Transport is central to meeting national climate goals. Yet transport-specific targets remain uneven across Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), creating a gap between national climate commitments and the policies and investments needed to translate them into action.

This session will examine how countries across Asia and the Pacific can strengthen transport-related climate targets and translate them into actionable policies and investments. It will explore regional trends in low-carbon transport and consider how transport policies across Southeast Asia and neighbouring subregions align with national climate targets.

A key highlight of the session will be the launch of Delivering India’s NDC Targets: Role of Transport, a new report by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). The report presents lessons from India that can inform countries in Southeast Asia and across the region as they prepare or revise their transport-related climate commitments.

The session will also introduce new tools from the Asian Transport Observatory (ATO) covering development assistance flows, electric mobility supply chains, and multi-hazard climate risk across Asia and the Pacific, including Southeast Asia.

The discussion will highlight how stronger data, analytical tools, and regional collaboration can support more ambitious, evidence-based, and implementable transport-sector climate targets.
