A Practical Framework for Aligning NDC Enhancement and COVID-19 Recovery: Detailed Transport Sector Approaches

The document argues that integrating low-carbon transport into economic recovery plans can drive inclusive growth, job creation, and health improvements while helping countries meet their NDC targets. It advocates for a comprehensive 'Avoid-Shift-Improve' strategy to reduce transport emissions.

• Aligning NDCs with green transport can foster an inclusive economic recovery, as investments in low-carbon mobility are expected to create jobs and improve equity and health.
• Achieving global climate goals for transport emissions requires the 'Avoid-Shift-Improve' approach, which consists of avoiding unnecessary travel, shifting to sustainable modes like walking, bicycling, and public transport, and improving vehicle efficiency via innovation and technology.
• Specific transport interventions—including the electrification and decarbonization of vehicles, improving road safety, enhancing affordable public transport, and promoting active lifestyles—contribute to the economic development, equity, and health of cities.
