The NDC Transport Tracker enables you to get a clear picture of ambition, targets and policies in countries’ nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and Long-Term low GHG Emission Development Strategies (LTS) that support sustainable transport. It is currently in its beta stage, so please feel free to share your thoughts and comments with us and help us improve the Tracker over time!
The NDC Transport Tracker is developed by GIZ Transport and the SLOCAT Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport. It is part of the Mobilize Net-Zero project that is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and financed by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).
| We encourage you to use the tracker for your own work and research. Find relevant instructions in this how-to use guide. The summary analysis shows the major results of the tracker. The key insights and good practices of this analysis can be retrieved here. |
With the NDC Transport Tracker, you can keep track of national-level climate policies and targets in transport. In particular, it provides information on the role of transport in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Long-term Low Greenhouse Gas Emission Development Strategies (LTS) – the two most important instruments of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below 2°C.
The Tracker is being updated constantly. The newest NDCs and LTS will be added once published on the submissions portal of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The original NDC can be found in the NDC Registry and the LTS are compiled here. The NDC Transport Tracker will be updated in the future with other major national strategies, starting with the relevant transport documents references in the LTS and NDCs. You can download all data here.
You can get information on the role of transport in climate strategies all over the world, in a certain region or in a particular country. The world map on the start page gives an overview, bar charts enable the comparison of transport’s role between different generations of climate policy documents. The tables on targets, mitigation and adaptation actions and more provide a whole range of transport-related information from climate plans. Read more about how to use the tracker here.
The wealth of available information comprises climate targets as well as climate actions for mitigation and adaptation in transport. You can also find out which means of implementation countries include in their climate plans or what government structures are in place for transport climate action.
Country pages present a more in-depth picture of available climate policies and put it into context by providing information on GHG emissions and economic development.
The NDC Transport Tracker builds upon two studies that were conducted by SLOCAT and GIZ in 2016 and 2017 respectively. In order to assess if the importance of transport for climate action was reflected in the first round of NDCs, GIZ as well as SLOCAT conducted first assessments of the role of transport back then. Also, the Tracker of Climate Strategies for Transport draws information from SLOCAT’s Transport and Climate Change Global Status Report (TCC-GSR).
The tracker was developed in consultation with the International Transport Forum (ITF), the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) and the World Resources Institute (WRI). They were consulted with regards to the typology and assessment areas of the tracker. The tracker benefited from their activities to enhance ambition of transport in NDCs, such as ITF’s Transport Climate Action Directory and WRI’s Enhancing NDCs: Opportunities in Transport.
