Description

With the increasing significance of urban mobility in global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, this training material is designed to equip cities worldwide with the knowledge and tools to align their efforts on urban transport planning with international climate change commitments. 
In this comprehensive session, participants will explore the intersection of National Urban Mobility Policies (NUMPs) and Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) as crucial components in linking national ambitions outlined in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to local actions. The training emphasizes the pivotal role of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) in curbing the upward trajectory of urban transport emissions, offering practical insights applicable to cities globally.

This set of training materials demonstrates the effective use of the MobiliseYourCity emissions calculator in assessing the GHG emissions impact of Urban Mobility Plans. The training material emphasizes the importance of creating diverse scenarios to assess SUMP impact, providing cities with a powerful tool for informed decision-making. While acknowledging that this process is optional, the session underscores the significance of demonstrating climate efforts and linking them to local action on urban mobility. By utilizing the MobiliseYourCity emissions calculator, participants gain valuable insights into the intricacies of GHG accounting and scenario planning, fostering a proactive approach to sustainable urban development worldwide.

Training Objectives

•    Understand the climate dimension of sustainable urban mobility planning
•    Gain knowledge on how to make an ex-ante evaluation of a SUMP impact in terms of GHG emissions 
•    Identify opportunities to link the national climate mitigation commitments established in the NDC with local action on urban mobility

Indicative agenda

1.    Introduction to the MobiliseYourCity emissions calculator
2.    The SUMP concept
3.    Estimating GHG emissions of a city’s urban mobility system – BAU and climate scenarios
