Transport is the fastest-growing climate problem — and new national climate plans still fall dangerously short. SLOCAT & @giztransport.bsky.social just published our full analysis of transport in the new NDCs. Current ambition? On track for 2.3–2.5°C. Not 1.5°C. 🧵

Key Insights on Transport at COP30
This webinar provides a concise and strategic overview of the main outcomes of COP30 in transport. The session delves into one of the most significant milestones that took place outside the formal negotiation process: the launch of the ministerial declaration led by Chile and endorsed by eleven countries —Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Austria, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Slovenia and Chile. This declaration sets out a global effort so that, by 2035, total energy demand from transport is reduced by one quarter and the share of renewable energy and sustainable biofuels is increased to one third. With this, the aim is to accelerate climate action within the sector and position it as a central actor in the transition toward carbon neutrality. The webinar features the participation of the Chilean Minister of Transport and Telecommunications, Juan Carlos Muñoz, who shares his views on the importance of this initiative and on the future of sustainable transport in Latin America and worldwide. Finally, the webinar places these developments within a broader perspective. On one hand, Maruxa Cardama, Secretary General of SLOCAT, reviews how the role of transport has evolved within the COP framework over the years, and how the sector has gained increasing relevance in the climate agenda. On the other hand, the session will examine how the commitments reached can be translated into concrete actions in the context of the third generation of NDCs, reviewing the work carried out by the NDC Transport Tracker. 0:00:00 Introduction by Julio Briones, Technical Advisor at GIZ Chile 0:08:00 Welcome by Daniel Bongardt, Coordinator of the Infrastructure and Mobility Team at GIZ Germany 0:19:00 Presentation of the Declaration "Towards resilient and low-emissions transport systems for people, development and the planet" by Cristóbal Pineda, Head of Regional Public Transport Management at the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications, Chile 0:29:00 Interview with Juan Carlos Muñoz, Minister of Transport and Telecommunications of Chile 0:58:30 Evolution of the transport sector at the past COPs by Maruxa Cardama, Secretary General at the SLOCAT Partnership 1:12:50 Analysis of the 3rd Generation NDCs by Belén Vasquez, Data Specialist at GIZ Germany and Nikola Medimorec, Director of Data Analysis and Research at the SLOCAT Partnership 1:29:50 Closing remarks by Julio Briones, Technical Advisor at GIZ Chile
