Description

Description With commitments from industry and government, UEMI will function as an open forum for knowledge transfer and support for the take-up of e-mobility solutions around the world. It will initiate a process of dialogue and continue to gather commitments from local and national governments as well as businesses on e-mobility targets.
Objectives Industry leaders (car and battery manufacturers, energy producers, distributors, renewables) pledge that in pursing the goal of sustainable development, with particular reference to transport and mobility, they will strive to increase the global market share of electric vehicles in cities to reach at least 30% by 2030.

Government and City representatives pledge that in pursuing the goal of sustainable urbanisation, they will strive towards a goal of: “by 2030 Electric Vehicles will form 30% of the fleet of light duty vehicles (LDV), plying in their cities”.

Multilateral Development Banks: Will Pledge to increase their investments in infrastructure to support cities in attaining the goal of 30% of the LDV fleet being comprised of Electric Vehicles.

Activities Knowledge Building:
  • UN-Habitat, the Wuppertal Institute and the Climate Action Implementation Facility jointly host the resource center for the UEMI, aiming to bridge the gap between urban energy and transport and boosting sustainable transport and urban e-mobility.
  • The UEMI resource center provides opportunities for direct collaboration on projects focusing on sustainable urban mobility and the role e-mobility can play in it.

Policy-making and implementation:

  • The UEMI pools expertise, facilitates exchange and initiates implementation-oriented actions. UEMI works closely with city governments and supports in the development of feasible action plans for pilot projects.

Have you changed or strenghtened your goals
Progress towards the goals The initiative is working on the development of a pipeline of project concepts that can be taken further towards implementation. It will also work on capacity building and the development of a toolkit on sustainable urban mobility in 2016.

A new series of trainings, webinars and e-learning courses and a call for partner cities will be launched in late-2016 together with the urban mobility SOLUTIONS network.

As part of urban implementation actions,  the UEMI team now works with cities to assess the opportunities for e-mobility concepts in their wider sustainable transport strategy. The current 23 cities engaged in the program have a combined population of over 46 million people covering key emerging economies. • Besides the 23 cities,  more cities will be added in the future to benefit from the Capacity building efforts and implementation action.
