Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action [https://unfccc.int/climate-action/marrakech-partnership-for-global-climate-action] Under the leadership of the High-Level Climate Champions, the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action (MPGCA) supports the implementation of the Paris Agreement by enabling collaboration between governments and the cities, regions, businesses and investors that must act on climate change. Serving as Co-Focal Point of the Transport Thematic Group jointly with the International Transport Forum, SLOCAT continued to establish the transport community as an essential and reliable partner in the MPGCA. SLOCAT’s mandate was renewed by appointment by transport sector peers in 2020. Sustainable Mobility for All [https://sum4all.org] Sustainable Mobility for All brings together a diverse and influential group of transport stakeholders, with a commitment to speak with one coherent voice and act collectively to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) and transform the transport sector. SLOCAT has been part of the Sustainable Mobility for All Consortium since its early stages and as member of the inaugural Steering Committee. Its Steering Committee Membership was recently extended to 2020-2022 period. Asian LEDS Partnership of the Global Climate Action Partnership (GCAP) As a proud member of the Asian LEDS Partnership, the Asian platform of the Global Climate Action Partnership (GCAP), we have supported its Leadership Group for Clean Transport in Asia in developing the Communique on Regional Technical Cooperation for Clean and Sustainable Land Transport in Asia. NDC Transport for Asia Initiative SLOCAT is a consortium partner of the NDC-TIA, which aims to facilitate a paradigm shift to zero-emission transport across Asia. The program will achieve this shift by supporting China, India and Vietnam to develop comprehensive decarbonization strategies and solutions to implement them. Beyond the three countries, on the regional and global level, the program will maximize impact by reaching out to additional countries in Southeast Asia.
