The word transport where it means to provide connectivity and enhance it in consecutive levels has also few negative impacts environmentally and socially and in health area too. During this transportation process, it’s found that most greenhouse gases are emitted from it and is increasing at a higher rate. This further increase in greenhouse gases will also result in frequent climate change.
During the conference, some of the discussions on ongoing sustainable transport activities such as HLPF (High-Level Political Forum), G7 Summit, Climate Action Summits are expected to put forward and look onto these with some more planning and executes. These following discussions would require some major support from Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) which will directly connect them with targets and indicators.
