Scaling Up Sustainable Transport Solutions Worldwide
Description
By 2016, 200+ cities in mostly emerging economies will substantially adopt high-quality sustainable mobility and urban development.
Global performance goals include:
10+ game-changers (policy or projects)
50+ cities directly impacted
200+ cities influenced
EMBARQ's long-term vision is a world in which all cities are sustainable environments for all people to thrive and live happily.
Through a network of country-focused centers for sustainable transport, EMBARQ will propel this movement at local, national and international levels through the following three approaches:
1) Deliver Game-changer Solutions in Cities: Catalyze and help implement game-changer solutions that set precedent, shift paradigms, and create a new standard, with extraordinary influence across an entire country, region, or the globe.
2) Replicate Best Practices to 200+ Cities via Deep and Broad Engagements: EMBARQ will spur adoption of best practices via targeted technical assistance and broad capacity building to local and national decision-makers.
3) Shift International Policy to Prioritize Sustainable Transport, Urban Development, and Climate Change Mitigation through Transport: Convene international agencies through major conferences, original independent research, and other partnerships, to prioritize sustainable mobility solutions. Then connect international policy to national regulation and local projects, by convening decision-makers at all levels.
EMBARQ's top geographic priorities will be India, China , and Brazil during the next five years. These countries represent the world's largest emerging economies and regional centers of influence.
