@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin Transport #emissions are currently, at 10% of total emissions and 13% of energy emissions. #Transport sector in India is the fastest growing amongst G20 countries, which affects the goal of reducing emissions intensity of GDP: RR Rashmi, @teriin

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin There is no one silver bullet for all of the transport sector's emission woes. There needs to be an integrated approach to #decarbonizing India's booming #Transportation sector: RR Rashmi, @teriin

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin Electrification of #transport sector, modal shift from road to rail for #freight, changes in urban planning are necessary for moderating the sector’s contribution in emissions: RR Rashmi, @teriin

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin 98% of transport sector fuel demand is met by petroleum products making it critical to push for #decarbonisation and highlighting role of transport sector for energy security to ensure buy-in:

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin Speaking now | @AnumitaRoychowd, Executive Director, Research and Advocacy, @CSEINDIA

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin @AnumitaRoychowd @CSEINDIA #Freight #transport is largely driven by roads and with construction of modern highways, it is important to #decarbonize roadways: @AnumitaRoychowd, Executive Director, @CSEINDIA

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin @AnumitaRoychowd @CSEINDIA We know the technological solutions to #decarbonize the sector and these concerns are being addressed by national, sub-national and city level planning. There is a need to overcome the bottlenecks through legislative backing for #decarbonization of the sector: @AnumitaRoychowd

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin @AnumitaRoychowd @CSEINDIA We need to come up with innovative ideas for urban planning to promote non-motorized transport with a high potential for scalability: @AnumitaRoychowd, Executive Director, Research and Advocacy, @CSEINDIA

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin @AnumitaRoychowd @CSEINDIA Developing indicators for monitoring the implementation of the #Transportation sector plans at city-levels is essential to measure progress towards #lowcarbon transport paradigm: @AnumitaRoychowd, Executive Director, Research and Advocacy, @CSEINDIA

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin @AnumitaRoychowd @CSEINDIA Speaking now | Mr Holger Dalkmann, Founder and CEO, Sustain 2030

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin @AnumitaRoychowd @CSEINDIA The #COVID19 pandemic poses a significant challenge to economies around the world, but the effects of #ClimateChange pose a far bigger change: Holger Dalkmann, Founder and CEO, Sustain 2030

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin @AnumitaRoychowd @CSEINDIA Based on UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2019, there is a need to cut global emissions by 7.6% every year for next decade to meet 1.5 degree Paris Target, which can happen through very strong green recovery measures where transport sector plays a major part: Holger Dalkmann

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin @AnumitaRoychowd @CSEINDIA There is a lack of #integratedtransport in climate action plans which currently focus on passenger vehicles. A comprehensive approach covering all modes of transport has to be adopted for effective #decarbonization: Holger Dalkmann

@OPAgarWRI @iChiragGajjar @teriin @AnumitaRoychowd @CSEINDIA Fuel economy standards are a tested tool to reduce transport sector emissions. Globally, countries are moving towards policy-making aimed at phasing out fossil fuels for transportation: Holger Dalkmann
