The FTI creates an indicator to assess nations' commitment to decarbonising the transport sector
It will be updated every Monday
September 28, 2021
Signatories to the Paris Climate Agreement are required to submit new NDCs every five years. The first were presented in 2015 and the latter, due to the delay due to the pandemic of Covid-19, they will be on the occasion of the twenty-sixth conference of the United Nations on climate change to be held between 31 October and 12 November in Glasgow.
The first survey carried out by the ITF on the basis of data available last Monday shows that 94% of the 191 nations party to the Agreement refers in some way to the sector of transport in their NDCs, which 77% of nations have included in its NDCs measures concerning transport and that 14% of nations has set concrete targets for CO2 reduction generated by transport.
Announcing the creation of the new indicator, the FTI has highlighted that climate change cannot be arrested without decarbonising transport, sector that depends for more than 90% on fossil fuels and is responsible for about a quarter of global CO2 emissions related to energy. The ITF also pointed out that, at difference of other sectors, carbon dioxide emissions produced by transport continue to increase.
