ITF commits support for fossil-fuel-free city streets by 2030

ニュース 記者発表資料

Stephen Cotton launched the ‘ITF statement on Green & Healthy Streets: transitioning to zero emission transport’ at the Global Climate Action Summit, in San Francisco, USA.

The statement is in support of the Green and Healthy Streets Declaration by the C40 cities.

Stephen Cotton said: “The ITF and its affiliates are ready to support the declaration in real and tangible ways. We recognise that if we act now and act together, dangerous climate change can be averted. That’s why the ITF is here at GCAS making the case for massively expanding public transport now.”

In the statement the ITF and its affiliates commit to supporting the Declaration by:

  • Working in partnerships with mayors and cities to ensure that the transition to fossil-fuel-free streets is a just transition that creates decent jobs, reduces inequality, and drives inclusion and improvements in the lives of working class and low-income people.
  • Building partnerships with mayors and city authorities to develop and integrate just transition plans that drive decent work and social action, including labour impact assessments, safeguards and job targets for men and women workers.
  • Mobilising workers knowledge and skills to shape and enhance the supportive actions needed to meet the commitments in the Declaration.
  • Working in partnerships with mayors and city authorities to deliver a just transition to zero emission buses, including developing plans for relevant worker training.
