CODATU XVI, Istanbul 2-5 February, 2015 FINANCING AND OPTIMIZING BENEFITS FROM LOW CARBON URBAN TRANSPORT

• Role of Climate Finance -

Paradigm shift on development of Transport

Predict and Provide Build Roads to promote economic and social development

Road safety 1.3 million deaths Air Pollution 3 million deaths (large part transport) Climate change – transport GHG fast growing Access not inclusive – large groups no access (urban and rural)

Negative externalities of old paradigm: 6-10% of GDP at least 50 Trllion USD up to 2030

Congestion

Access: (Avoid + Shift + Improve)

Expand/Improve Transport infrastructure and services

Avoid unnecessary motorized transport

Shift Transport to most effective mode (people and goods)

Improve environmental performance transport

: + +

Then Now Economic benefits of new paradigm:

70 Trillion USD up to 2050 (International Energy Agency/2012) -100+ Trillion USD up to 2050 (ITDP/ 2014)

Climate Finance for Transport – Not Transformational in Scale !

SLoCaT Partnership Research 2014

• 20 countries have two or more sustainable transport projects funded by

climate finance mechanisms/frameworks

• 24 countries have one sustainable transport project funded by climate

mechanisms

• 151 countries have no sustainable transport projects funded by climate

mechanisms

Climate Finance for Transport – Transformational in Direction?

• Climate finance shows a current bias for Shift and Improve

projects; additional emphasis on Avoid projects is needed

• Green Climate Fund is making right noises: transport +

programmatic approach

Key take aways

• To late to pick winners: 2 Degree Scenario requires action

from all sectors now

• COP 21 + SDG process set targets for action on transport (as

well as other sectors)

• Climate is tail that wags the transport dog
• Comprehensive financing strategy:

– Focused around public funding, assisted by private sector – For Climate (and MDB) funding to be effective their role needs to change from implementation to enabling + facilitating

• Good news: change is increasingly happening
