The Paris Declaration on Electro-Mobility and Climate Change and Call to Action

The rationale for the Paris Declaration was not an initiative per se, but rather an ad-hoc Declaration prepared before the COP21 to gather the different transport initiatives on Electro-Mobility (Taxis4SmartCities, C40 Clean Bus Declaration, International Zero-Emission Vehicle Alliance) under a single objective: committing to broaden efforts towards sustainable transport electrification – including that at least 20% of all road vehicles (cars, 2 and 3-wheelers, trucks, buses and others) are to be electrically powered by 2030. This Declaration was lauched by the transport focal points among the LPAA quartet (France, Peru, UNFCCC and Executive Office of the Secretary-General (EOSG) mainly in order to increase visibility and obtain a greater press coverage.
