Colombia
The urban transport is responsible for almost 34% of the global gas emissions. Decarbonization of the urban transport sector is one of the main challenges for government authorities in cities in Latin America, who need to address a strong commitment to tackling climate change, and plan the EV expansion in urban fleet use in the next five years.
We can see already significant accomplishments throughout the region. In this eMeeting we will gather representatives to exchange experiences, review their implementation process and results in Brazil, Colombia, Chile and Uruguay.
Discussion will touch on
- What are the main initiatives in the region?
- Policy and legal framework - the existing regulatory environment is enough? How can the private sector stimulate the necessary changes?
- What are the recommendations for regional collaboration?
