May 2009
Twenty one representatives from eighteen different organizations working on transport and climate change in developing countries met 12 -16 May, 2009 in Bellagio, in a meeting to build a consensus on the required policy response to the growing CO2 emissions from transport in the developing world.
The meeting resulted in the Bellagio Declaration on Transportation and Climate Change . This Declaration calls on organizations and individuals to support urgent action to change the change the trajectory of future GHG emissions from transport and to make transport in developing countries more sustainable.
It appeals to all participants in the climate negotiations leading up to COP 15 to provide strong support for the following 3 key-principles
- Principle 1: Effective Climate Action Is Incomplete Without Addressing the Overall System Performance of the Transport Sector.
- Principle 2: Climate action in the transport sector should recognize co-benefits
- Principle 3: Carbon finance mechanisms and associated procedures should catalyze sustainable transport policies, programs and projects
Organizations are encouraged to express their support for the Bellagio Declaration on Transportation and Climate Change. You can do so by signing the register of support. Please send an email to chuizenga[at]adb.org, with Name of your organization, your name, designation and an indication whether you are signing as representative of your organization or in a personal capacity.
The Bellagio meeting also produced a Common Policy Framework (CPF) on Transport and Climate Change in Developing Countries. The CPF elaborates the rationale for the Declaration and outlines how the three main principles in the Declaration can be implemented especially through COP 15 in December 2009.
