Action towards Climate-Friendly Transport

ACT promotes and accelerates transport action in the fight against climate change. It is up to us to signal robust support for the transformative potential of climate friendly transport and to trigger further action and investment.

The UNSG Climate Action Summit was held on 23 September at United Nations Headquarters in New York. The Summit was a key milestone in the international community’s work towards sincere, renewed, and ambitious climate action.

Governments at all levels, private sector organisations, civil society, UN entities and other stakeholders and platforms, come together within the Action towards Climate-friendly Transport (ACT) initiative to draw clear pathways in the complementary fields of policy framework setting, integrated transport and urban planning, non-motorised and public transport infrastructure provision and zero emission fleet replacement.

ACT has 4 components: Component 1: Connecting innovative approaches with integrated long-term planning and policy-making processes. Component 2: Enabling architecture for a mass rollout of electric buses. Component 3: Creating a mass-market for zero-emission freight vehicles. Component 4: Setting-up global dialogue arenas with the private sector. ACT promotes and accelerates transport action in the fight against climate change. Let us together now ACT and draw clear pathways for sustainable transport!
