        Transport Project Partnership

        The Transport Project Partnership was established to support dialogue among stakeholders on transport matters relevant for energy and climate, technology and modelling methodologies. The Partnership enables the exchange of ideas and information, allowing the IEA to strengthen its knowledge base for its analysis and research.
        The origin of the IEA’s transport modelling and the Partnership that supports it can be traced back to the Sustainable Mobility Project (SMP) and the Mobility 2030 report of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). Established in 2000 to consider how global mobility patterns might evolve in the period to 2030 and…
