The goals of the Transport Refinement Project are to:
Produce an SDA Transport Tool that a broader range of companies can use to model transport GHG reduction targets, consistent with the long-term temperature goals adopted in the Paris Agreement.
2) Produce a Technical Paper explaining main projections and assumptions embedded in the decarbonization models useful for companies to inform their carbon strategies. This document will also explain the methodological choices adopted after consultation.
3) Produce Target-setting Guidance, for different end- users (i.e. passenger transport companies, logistic companies, vehicle & autopart manufactures, other transport emissions in the value chain) on how to use the SDA transport tool to set GHG reduction targets.

Green Talks LIVE: Global Plastics Outlook: Policy Scenarios to 2060OECD Environment
Plastic pollution is one of the great environmental challenges of the 21st century, causing wide-ranging damage to ecosystems and human health. With a growing global economy and population, global plastics use is projected to nearly triple by 2060 from 2019 levels. Plastic leakage to the environment is also projected to double, with stocks of accumulated plastics in rivers and oceans projected to more than triple by 2060. Achieving the global goal of eliminating plastic pollution to prevent worsening impact to the environment and human health requires shared objectives and co-ordinated efforts at the global level.
What comprehensive measures can countries implement to combat this growing plastics issue? What policy packages can target all phases of the plastics lifecycle? What action can be taken at both the regional and global level?
On 21 June 2022, experts explored these questions and more during a presentation of the forthcoming OECD report Global Plastics Outlook: Policy Scenarios to 2060. The report provides a set of coherent projections on plastics to 2060, including plastics use and waste as well as the environmental impacts linked to plastics, especially leakage to the environment.
The webinar included a presentation of the key projections and two policy packages to bend the plastic curve, for a better understanding of the environmental benefits and economic consequences of adopting more stringent policies.

DAO IPCI - blockchain based marketplace for environmental commoditiesRussianCarbonFund
DAO Integrated Program for Climate Initiatives is the first ever blockchain and smart contracts -based marketplace for the broad range of environmental assets and liabilities.
Project team comprises of well-known blockchain pioneers along with environmental market experts and has already developed the set of modules that would allow for the following:
- issuance, registration, trade and offset of carbon credits, other environmental commodities
- support issuance of green bonds and report on the usage of proceeds
- monitor and store supply chain data, science –based targets
- link and merge international carbon markets
The Blockchain technology ensures outstanding transparency and reliability of transactions, the possibility of global decentralized interactions, including tracking of global supply chains to ensure responsibility of suppliers in terms of sustainable development principles.
The DAO IPCI project had started in 2016 but have already executed the international transaction of carbon credits and gained the support of global corporations such as Microsoft, Baker McKenzie and Accenture.
Transport Day 2014 took place on 7 December 2014, alongside the twentieth session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC COP 20), in Lima, Peru. Approximately 200 participants convened at the Sheraton Lima Hotel and Convention Center to focus on the theme “Transport Tackles Climate Change.” This was the second Transport Day event jointly organized by the SLoCaT Partnership and the Bridging the Gap initiative.

The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.

5. About I Sectoral Decarbonization Approach
• Freely available open-source methodology developed by
the SBTi partners jointly with Ecofys
• Allows companies to set emission reduction targets in line
with a 2°C decarbonization scenario for their sector.
• Based on the 2°C scenario (2DS) developed by the
International Energy Agency (IEA) as part of its Energy
Technology Perspectives publication.
• The SDA includes decarbonization pathways for: power
generation, energy-intensive industry sectors, transport,
service & commercial buildings.
• The aim of this project is to refine the transport
decarbonization trajectories in the current SDA.
6. About I Sectoral Decarbonization Approach
• The SDA uses a convergence approach for all those
homogeneous sectors that can be expressed with a
common activity unit (i.e. t cement, KWh, pkm)
• Convergence: where all companies within a given sector
reduce their emissions intensity to a common value by
2050 as dictated by a global 2°C pathway).
• The reduction responsibilities allocated to a company vary
depending on its initial carbon intensity and growth rate
relative to those of the sector, as well as the sector-wide
emissions intensity compatible with global 2°C pathway.
7. Scope & Goals I Transport Refinement Project
Scope:
1) Derive new decarbonization trajectories
(tCO2/unit of activity) aligned with the Paris
Agreement goals.
2) Produce decarbonization trajectories for freight
transportation.
3) Produce decarbonization trajectories for vehicle
manufacturers (road) for the use of sold product
emissions.
4) Develop broader guidance for scope 3 target-
setting for the use of sold products.

8. Scope & Goals I Transport Refinement Project
Goals:
1) Produce an SDA Transport Tool that a broader range
of companies can use to model transport GHG
reduction targets, consistent with the long-term
temperature goals adopted in the Paris Agreement.
2) Produce a Technical Paper explaining main projections
and assumptions embedded in the decarbonization
models useful for companies to inform their carbon
strategies. This document will also explain the
methodological choices adopted after consultation.
3) Produce Target-setting Guidance, for different end-

9. Need for a collaborative effort I Project Participants
Some of the most exciting opportunities in the low-carbon transformation lie within the transport sector, but many
of these can only be unlocked through enhanced collaboration among a broad set of stakeholders. It is only
through collaboration that we can ensure that the transport sector plays the part it must in delivering on the goals
of the Paris Agreement and countries’ nationally determined contributions (NDCs).
