Abstract: The Advancing Transport Climate Strategies (TraCS) project is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and funded through the International Climate Initiative of the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB). Its objective is to enable policy makers in partner countries (Vietnam and Kenya) to specify the contribution of the transport sector to their respective Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). In addition, detailed knowledge on mitigation potential can lead to raising the level of the two countries’ ambitions. The project follows a multi-level approach: At the country level, TraCS supports (transport) ministries and other relevant authorities in systematically assessing GHG emissions in the transport sector and calculating emission reduction potential through the development of scenarios. At the international level, TraCS organises active exchanges between implementing partners, technical experts, and donor organisations to enhance methodological coherence in emission quantification in the transport sector (South-South and South-North dialogue). The dialogue aims to increase international transparency regarding emissions mitigation potential and the harmonisation of methodological approaches in the transport sector.
