This document contains the draft Inland Transport Committee (ITC) Strategy on Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Inland Transport, which was developed by the secretariat in close cooperation with the Committee’s subsidiary bodies and the ITC Bureau, in response to a request by the Committee at its eighty-fifth session (ECE/TRANS/328, para. 60(a)).
The draft integrates the contributions from the Committee’s subsidiary bodies. On 6 September 2023, a thematic discussion was held under the auspices of the Working Party on Transport Trends and Economics (WP.5), which gathered informal views by experts from member States, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations. At the initiative of the Committee’s Chair, an informal online meeting was held on 11 September 2023, with the Chairs and Vice-Chairs of the Committee’s subsidiary bodies, to support information exchange and encourage the provision of contributions. The pre-zero draft was also shared with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for review and comments and was reviewed by the ITC Bureau. The zero draft was shared with Member States for comments, which have been incorporated in draft 1. The present draft was finalized following another round of consultation with Member States.
