Implemented by

giz mu

Objective

To support Chile's international commitments in the transport sector by generating a National Sustainable Mobility Strategy with intersectoral lines of action and a National Urban Mobility Programme to finance regional sustainable mobility initiatives

Challenges in the region

Transport is the activity with the second highest emissions in Chile, with GHG emissions at 30.9%
In the last 10 years, private transport has grown by up to 7.3% in Chile's regions; public transport and active mobility have decreased by up to 5%.
Due to its geographical conditions, the country has an unbalanced demographic distribution: 83% of the population lives in eight of the 16 regions and 40% lives in the metropolitan region

This leads to a variation of cities with diverse challenges in terms of mobility and access to opportunities and different government capacities for dealing with these problems

Project phases

Initiation

Aimed at generating a framework of understanding for the development of the NUMP and its outcomes: preliminary assessment, multi-sectoral dialogue, working structure, among others

Diagnostic

The Status Quo Analysis is aimed at collecting and analysing information on the current status of urban mobility in the country, complemented by five multi-sector workshops

Vision and measurements

Steps aimed at defining a shared vision, common objectives, measurements, and targets for tackling the climate crisis from the transport sector

Detailed design

Details of agreed actions and definition of an action plan for their implementation

Expected results

National Sustainable Mobility Strategy

Support the fulfilment of the NDC through the Long-Term Strategy from the transport sector. Generate a governance model for the promotion of sustainable mobility. Strengthen technical capacities in multiple sectors

National Urban Mobility Programme for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation

This will allow the systematising, organising, and financing of sustainable mobility initiatives so that the regions themselves can design and implement their own Mobility Plans to achieve Chile's commitments under the Paris Climate Agreement 2015 and its update in 2020-2021
