Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Framework

• Focus on enablers of development: Energy, Transport, Water, Agriculture, etc.

• Pressure to limit number of SDGs

• How might transport be integrated in other goals or at a target level?

Report of High Level Panel of Eminent Persons on Post-2015 Development Agenda

• Transport does not merit separate SDG in Action Agenda

• Transport is listed as target for 2 of 12 proposed SDGs– Goal 7: Secure sustainable energy

• Target 7c. Double global rate of improvement in energy efficiency of buildings, industry, agriculture, and transport

• Target 7d. Phase out harmful & inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption

– Goal 8: Create jobs, sustainable livelihoods, equitable growth• Target 8c. Strengthen productive capacity by providing universal

access to financial services & infrastructure, such as transportation and ICT

• Limited vision about how transport can improve its sustainability; recommendations are not transformative

Sustainable Development Solutions Network: proposal for 10 SDGs

• Transport does not merit separate SDG in Action Agenda• But Transport is listed as target for 2 out of 10 SDGs

– Goal 6: Improve agriculture systems & raise rural prosperity:

• Target: universal access in rural areas to basic infrastructure services (water, sanitation, modern energy, transport, and mobile broadband communications)

– Goal 7: Empower inclusive, productive and resilient cities:• Target: Universal access to a secure & affordable built

environment and basic urban services: housing; water; sanitation and waste management; low-carbon energy & transport; mobile & broadband communication.

• Report ignores such issues as road safety, focuses mostly on transport technologies to curb energy use

Global Opinion on Post-2015 Priorities

http://www.myworld2015.org/

• 11 of 16 categories enabled by sustainable transport • “Access to Clean Water & Sanitation” ranks #5• “Better Transport and Roads” ranks # 12 (low

income countries #8)

• “Reliable Energy at Home” ranks #15

SLoCaT Submission to Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals

Universal Access to Safe, Clean and Affordable Transport for All

Urban households are able to access jobs, goods and services within 30 minutes by public transport and/or walking and cycling and rural households have access to all weather roads;

Traffic related deaths are cut in half by 2025 with an ultimate vision of near zero fatalities;

Air pollution from passenger and freight transport is halved by 2025 and GHG emissions from transport peak globally latest by 2020 with an ultimate vision of 40-60% reductions by 2050 compared to 2005 levels.

Sustainable Development Goal linked Targets

• Need to address social, economic, environmental dimensions

• Be transformational

• Address planetary boundaries

• Option to vary country-by-country

• Require development of detailed indicators, better data, monitoring, baselines

– Validation of proposed Goal;

– Validation of proposed Targets;

– Set ambition level of Goal and Targets;

– Establish base-line data sets

– Reporting format

Process for development of SLoCaT Results Framework

• Development of Results Framework is a collaborative process – building on active contribution of 80+ SLoCaT members

• GIZ – DfID and UN Habitat support development of Results Framework

OWGFirst Draft

If transport is not active part of post-2015 development framework

• Momentum from Rio+20 sustainable transport VCs will be harder to sustain

• Slowing of institutional and policy transformation to support sustainable transport

• Growing lock-in of unsustainable transport infrastructure investment and settlement patterns

• Less sustainable development world-wide in terms of access, safety, pollution, GHGs, inequality, and poverty
