| Bridging ‘Urban Services Divide’ can create more equal, sustainable cities – WRI |
|
|
A new report from WRI finds that 1 in 3 city dwellers globally and 2 in 3 city dwellers in low-income countries are “under-served” – lacking access to one or more core urban services like affordable running water and sanitation, consistent electricity, decent housing, reliable transport to work and school, safe cooking fuel and more. In some cities, the number of people under-served grows to an astonishing 90% of residents.

| Launching of TUMI Transport Outlook 1.5˚C – A global scenario to decarbonise transport |

The Transport sector is still responsible for almost a third of GHG emissions – and future trends are not looking any less troubling!
Thus, climate action in transport is urgently needed. However, a clear-cut transformation path, is missing. To close this gap TUMI and the University of Technology Sydney developed a robust scenario study: the TUMI Transport Outlook 1.5˚C.

The increasing progress of climate change as well as global warming pose an unprecedented challenge to humanity. In order to counter climate change, Mongolia has also joined the Paris Climate Agreement and in the process has set its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and committed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. |
As the largest energy consumer, the construction and housing sectors play a critical role in reducing greenhouse gases in Mongolia. BMZ, Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC) and the Ulaanbaatar Municipality are jointly pursuing the goal of making buildings as environmentally friendly and green as possible for a greener future through the "Energy Efficient Building Rehabilitation in Mongolia" project.

Recognising the importance of agroforestry to environmental and human well-being, the 40th Meeting of ASEAN Ministers on |
Agriculture and Forestry endorsed the ASEAN Guidelines for Agroforestry Development in October 2018. However, despite this high-level endorsement, the Guidelines have yet to be fully integrated into ASEAN Member States’ decision-making. Read More

| Beta Launch of Freight GreenhouseGas (GHG) Calculator |
|
The Climate Friendly Freight Transport in India (Green Freight) project of GIZ India is supporting Logistics Division, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India with implementing strategies to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from freight transport in India. On 28th July 2021, Logistics Division, Ministry of Commerce and Industry launched the beta version of the |
‘Freight GHG Emissions and Cost Calculator’ under its digital initiatives umbrella to improve logistics efficiency, reduce costs and promote multi-modal transport mix. The GHG Calculator is an efficient, user-friendly tool and provides for calculating and comparing GHG emissions across different modes. It allows for commodity-wise comparison of GHG emissions and total cost of transportation, including their environmental cost, between movement by road and rail. The tool is intended to help companies and individuals easily compare the trade-offs involved with freight movement by different transport modes for pre-selected origin and destination points or manually entered distances.

| Launch of PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (NMP) |
|
On 13th October 2021 the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi launched PM GatiShakti National Master Plan (NMP) for multi-modal connectivity which was followed by the PM Gati Shakti National Conference.
The NMP is intended to break Departmental Silos and bring in more holistic and integrated planning and execution of
|
projects with a view to address the issues of multimodal connectivity and last mile connectivity in India. This will help in bringing down logistics costs and will translate into enormous economic gains to consumers, farmers, youth as well as those engaged in businesses. The national conference provided an overview of how the vision of GatiShakti will be executed and focussed on the institutional framework which will be adopted and discussed the operational aspects of the NMP portal.
The Climate Friendly Freight Transport in India (Green Freight) project of GIZ India was instrumental in providing technical inputs and organisational support to Logistics Division for organising the launch of the PM GatiShakti NMP launch and the follow-up National Conference. This National Conference hosted by Logistics Division, Ministry of Commerce and Industry (GF Project partner) invited representatives of multilateral institutions (GIZ, ADB and World Bank), industry experts, National and state government bureaucrats to strategize GatiShakti National Master plan implementation.

| National Level “Consultative Meeting on Freight Smart Cities” |
|
With growing urbanisation, requirements of rapid economic growth including e-commerce and associated first and last mile freight movements; increasing congestion, noise and sound pollution in the Indian cities is a menace affecting both public health and local economies. An integrated and |
efficient city logistics ecosystem enables lower costs in the city, widens market access to its entrepreneurs, improves employment opportunities and ensures better city life for its citizens. It also enables development of efficient supply chains in the country.
In recognition of this, the “Climate Friendly Freight Transport in India (Green Freight) Project of GIZ India supported the Logistics Division, Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) to work in a planned manner to improve the urban freight efficiency. A national level consultative meeting on Freight Smart Cities was held on 2nd July 2021 under the chairmanship of the then Hon’ble Minister of State Shri Hardeep Singh Puri to discuss the importance of logistics in cities and the development of Freight Smart Cities to enhance freight movement while reducing congestion, improve living conditions and minimising environmental impact. MoCI also released a handbook on “Enhancing Urban Freight Systems” which compiles 14 measures on performance improvement, knowledge resource and guide for city practitioners and website on Freight Smart Cities was launched which provides information on concepts, activities, guidelines, events, reference documents etc.
The meeting was attended by more than 300+ participants representing 24 states, 6 union territories and 50+ cities.

| Leadership for Responsive Climate Actions in Agriculture, Forestry and Food systems: Insights from the ASEAN Climate Leadership Programme |
|
This brief discusses the role of systemic leadership in addressing climate change-related land use challenges in Southeast Asia. It reflects on the role of leadership in promoting transformational change towards a low-carbon, resilient and food secure economy and society, both globally and regionally. It builds upon insights from the ASEAN Climate Leadership Programme (ACLP) as a contribution to the work of the ASEAN Climate Resilience Network (ASEAN-CRN). It outlines the ACLP’s underlying theory, discusses experiences from the programme and provides inspiration as to how systemic leadership for climate-smart land use can be further promoted in the context of ASEAN.
