With increases in greenhouse gases (GHG) and air pollution from rapidly growing urban transport systems, countries are driven to adopt and promote sustainable urban mobility models to address issues of traffic congestion, air pollution and GHG emissions. This programme aims to promote a shift to convenient and contemporary public transportation systems through non-motorized methods and electric micro-mobility in urban cities. In addition, it integrates climate-proofing measures to help safeguard transport infrastructure and enhance resilience to address extreme weather events like heat waves, floods, and soil erosion that can potentially compromise infrastructure and cause service disruptions for urban transport networks.  

The E-Mobility Program will promote a transformational shift in public transport through the provision of technical assistance and investment in climate-resilient and low-emission mobility systems in Armenia, Georgia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Nepal, and Uzbekistan.  They may include climate-resilient urban transport infrastructure, the deployment of e-bus fleets on a large scale complemented with non-motorized transport solutions and measures for modal shifts. In addition, the programme seeks to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions amounting to about 11.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2eq) over a 25-year period. Overall, the programme is expected to benefit about 3.7 million people directly and indirectly.
