Discussion Paper: Strategies to bring land transport into the climate change negotiations
This discussion paper is intended to provide the climate negotiators with key recommendations on how to include land transport in the climate change negotiations of the Bali Action Plan. Most of the ideas are also relevant to freight transport as well as other modes such as air and maritime.
These suggestions are based on the outcomes from the'Bridging the Gap' expert workshop in Paris in March 2009, a review of submissions by Parties to the UNFCCC, and an analysis of the two negotiation texts prepared by the chairs of the AWG-KP and AWG-LCA in April 2009.
The paper has been developed by TRL on behalf of GTZ, Veolia Transport and UITP as part of the'Bridging the Gap' initiative (see Annex A). The partnership is also grateful for the support and contributions of UNEP to this paper. The paper does not reflect the
official positions of any of these organisations.
