Roadmap for Sustainable Mobility in Côte D’Ivoire by 2050

This session will present the Roadmap for Sustainable Mobility in Côte d’Ivoire by 2050, elaborated by the Climate Chance Association in with the Paris Process on Mobility and Transport (PPMC – which is part of the MP-GCA), the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI) and the Observatory of African Mobilities (OMA), and, the modelling of greenhouse gas reduction data compared to a business as usual scenario if this roadmap is to be adopted. The panel will discuss how this roadmap has contributed to the Ivorian strategy on mobility and transport, and how it could possibly contribute to the NDC of Côte d’Ivoire in the run-up to COP26.

This dialogue, through the Sustainable Mobility roadmap for Côte d’Ivoire, will highlight strategies in transport and mobility that can simultaneously develop and decarbonise this sector, with the involvement of a wide-range of local actors including start-ups, local authorities, non-profit organisations, national authorities, public transport authorities, researchers, and others. It will present the successes and strengths of the Ivoirian model, which could then potentially be replicated in other contexts. On a larger scale, this session will show the progress made and potential for future action in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport, and incorporating strategies for the same into NDCs in the run-up to COP26.
