TERI has been awarded a contract by the DfID in the UK to develop the Transport and Climate Change theme for the Global Transport Knowledge Partnership (gTKP) website. gTKP is a knowledge sharing facility for transport practioners working in Africa and Asia. The aim is to identify knowledge gaps and, using a combination of communication media: online discussion forums, events and workshops, seek to address them. The long term goal will be to build better capacity and partnerships for transport professionals to incorporate climate change issues into their work. The initial phase of the project will last for four months. The most important tasks will be: Provide themes and sub-themes on transport and climate change for the website Provide content for those themes including commissioning experts for relevant papers, identifying links to publicly available information Facilitate interactive discussions amongst transport practitioners in Africa and Asia and answer technical questions as needs be Attend and initiate events to raise gTKPs profile as a networking tool to assist practitioners in their role by building capacity to tackle climate change issues.
