The Transport Toolkit outlines a six step process to plan, finance and implement low emission transport systems, serving as a guide for planners and city leaders. The Toolkit was developed by the Low Emissions Development Strategies (LEDS) Global Partnership Transport Working Group, led by EMBARQ and the United States National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). NREL's Navid Adieh presented an overview of the Toolkit in English on March 18, 2014. A recording of the webinar is available at http://ledsgp.org/sector/transport.

LEDS GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP
Advancing Climate-Resilient Low Emission Development
Around the World
Mission
Harness the collective knowledge and resources of
governments, donors and international
organizations, and practitioners in scaling up and
strengthening implementation of climate-resilient low
emission development around the world.
Objectives
Strengthen support for LEDS
Mobilize capacity and advance peer-to-peer
learning and collaboration on LEDS
Improve coordination of LEDS at the
country, regional, and global levels.
Launched in 2011, the LEDS GP now catalyzes action and collaboration
across more than 120 countries and international organizations.

EXAMPLES OF LEDS GP SUPPORT
Peer learning and knowledge sharing
Global and regional workshops and trainings for more than
800 practitioners on LEDS planning, analysis, finance, and
sectoral programs
Technical collaboration
Transportation and Development Impacts Assessment
(DIA) toolkits and country assistance
National LEDS Finance Strategies with Colombia, Peru,
and Chile
No cost expert assistance available on LEDS analysis,
finance, and sector measures to all members
 e.g. support to Mauritius on solar hot water program, Bhutan on
transport options, Indonesia on budget allocation, Cambodia on
green fund, and Cote D’Ivoire on bio-energy
Understanding and analysis of LEDS benefits
Application of DIA visual tool with Ghana, Kenya,
and Montenegro
Broader portfolio of shared LEDS communication
resources under development
