REPLAY
A webinar organized by IDDRI, within the framework of the Climate Week NYC that takes place on September 20-26.
The Climate Week NYC returns for 2021 with a focus on fulfilling and increasing commitments made by businesses, governments, and organizations. It is the time and place where the world gathers to showcase leading climate action and discuss how to do more, fast.
Description of the session
While the targets and plans set in countries' Nationally-Determined Contributions (NDCs) reveal current levels of ambition, they do not paint a complete picture of the global trends and developments which are both leading to and helping mitigate the transport sector’s impact on the climate.
This event proposed to adopt a different and complementary perspective on climate ambition around systemic transformations and their enablers in taking stock of progress inside countries and sectors.
