Transport is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise.
At COP30 in Belém/Brazil in November 2025, eleven countries signed a Ministerial Declaration to tackle transport emissions together. The next phase starts at the ITF 2026 Summit: the coalition will present its new leadership and work plan for 2026-27 and make the case that funding resilient transport and cutting emissions are not competing priorities but inseparable.
