Joint action needed for green transport in Asia-Pacific

Government officials and international experts from the Asia-Pacific region have called for collective action and further investments from governments to expand low-carbon transport, to further strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change.

During the eighth session of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific on Transport held from Nov 5 to 7 in Bangkok, policymakers and leading transport sector experts explored ways to advance collaborative efforts in sustainable transport across the region.

The commission reviewed the implementation of the Regional Action Programme for Sustainable Transport Development in Asia and the Pacific (2022-26) and found that all progress indicators set to track its implementation have either been achieved or are on track.
