#GLOCON26 kicks off 26 October in Bangkok — and the timing couldn't be better for a global conversation on informal and shared transport. SLOCAT is involved as an advisor and is eager to connect with many colleagues who would be in attendance.

Public transport ridership has yet to recover from the pandemic: over half of operators reported that 2024 passenger levels were still below 2019 levels, while informal transport providers remain under-recognised and under-supported.

SLOCAT Partnership @slocat.net · 02/09/2026

Despite advances in renewable energy and rapid increases in electric vehicle adoption, fossil fuels still accounted for 95.4% of total energy consumption in transport in 2023. This share has remained virtually unchanged for five decades. The transition needs to happen sooner.

SLOCAT Partnership @slocat.net · 02/09/2026

In 2023, transport remained the second-largest and fastest-growing emissions sector, responsible for 15.9% of global GHG emissions and 21.9% of global CO₂ emissions. It was also the fastest-growing energy-use sector, consuming 27% of global energy for end uses.

SLOCAT Partnership @slocat.net · 27/08/2026

The ask is simple: treat transport not as a standalone sector but as a system lever that catalyses the move away from fossil fuels. Read the full recap 👇: slocat.net/transport-is...

The logic is simple: global commitments must translate into stronger national policies, then into local ownership, supported by adequate financing and coordinated implementation, ultimately leading to measurable outcomes.

100

SLOCAT Partnership @slocat.net · 25/08/2026

This also means establishing Regional Hubs and a Champion Countries Network to translate global frameworks into regionally contextualised advocacy and support. The goal: move from global commitments to regional, national and subnational implementation through Policy-to-Practice packages.

SLOCAT Partnership @slocat.net · 25/08/2026

In future-proofing the delivery of the SDGs, SLOCAT’s position recognises that transport plays a critical role. We need a simple, actionable and unified global Goal for Transport, a resonant “North Star” that actors and agencies can rally behind.

Nigeria's transport emissions don't fall because of a launch. They fall in the depot: serviced engines, no idling, correct tyre pressure, filled return trips. The new Climate and Clean Air Action Framework for Ttransport puts these cheap wins first.

500 million. That's how many motorised two-and three-wheelers are on the road today. And together, they're already estimated to be displacing nearly a million barrels of oil every day. Yet these vehicles and the people who operate them are still too often left out of transportation planning.

This work also sits alongside two other homes: the COP process, where the COP30 declaration on low-emission transport already gives an anchor to build on, and the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport (2026–2035), which gives a global goal a long runway to take shape.

The HLPF served as a natural place to start this conversation. It's normally where governments are measured against the goals they've committed to, and where the gap between ambition and delivery shows up most clearly.

Yet transport still has no global goal of its own. A global goal would give ministers, cities and funders a shared north star, and give the many organisations already working on pieces of this problem one frame to rally behind, instead of competing modal asks governments struggle to act on.

At the just-ended HLPF 2026, water and energy were called the "delivery system" for every other SDG. But delivery systems don't deliver themselves. Pipes, panels, clinical supplies, food, people getting to work, school, hospitals, and transport move all of it.

Mentioned everywhere, owned nowhere. Split between the climate agenda and the development agenda as if it were two things, not one. The UN Decade of Sustainable Transport (2026-2035) gives the sector a mandate. But a decade is a mandate, not a metric. It needs a goal and targets.

But a gap sits above all of it. Energy has quantified global goals: triple renewables, double efficiency. Transport has none. No agreed target for how we move people and goods means investment has no shared destination.
