About the webinar
According to projections by the International Transport Forum, the share of emissions resulting from transport in developing countries is expected to increase as a result of growing economies and higher transport demand (ITF 2017). As part of their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), countries in the LAC Region have identified electric transport as a key measure to meet their targets.
With this in mind, the LEDS LAC Platform and the LEDS GP Transportation Working Group, together with several partners, are launching the Electric Mobility Community of Practice, an ongoing collaborative space to enable peer-to-peer learning and provide a deeper understanding of the options available to overcome barriers. This webinar will present the MOVE initiative and the experiences of the city of Medellin (Colombia) and Costa Rica on the barriers facing electric mobility and the approaches they are using to overcome them.
The webinar will be held at Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the LEDS LAC Platform Secretariat: [email protected].

Tal aumento pondría en tela de juicio los objetivos climáticos del Acuerdo de París.
Currently the incremental cost of a light electric car compared to a similar conventional one is 9,000 Euros, which is estimated to drop to less than a thousand by 2025 (conservative estimates), mainly due to the steady reduction in the price of batteries.
The report provides information on the incentives, policy instruments and financial mechanisms that are serving to accelerate the transition to electric mobility around the world, as well as their specific application in the countries of the region. It also suggests a regional roadmap to accelerate the transition to electric mobility, with a special emphasis on urban public transport as a sector that could lead this change in Latin America.
According to the study, Latin America presents the best conditions globally for electric vehicles to deliver their greatest benefits in terms of emissions reduction, as electricity is largely generated with renewable energy. The deployment of electric mobility in Latin America could also mean fuel savings of approximately US$85 billion by 2050.[/fusion_content_box][fusion_content_box title="Asociación Costarricense de Movilidad Eléctrica ASOMOVE " icon="" backgroundcolor="" iconcolor="" circlecolor="" circlebordercolor="" circlebordersize="" outercirclebordercolor="" outercirclebordercolor="" outercirclebordersize="" iconrotate="" iconrotate="" iconspin="no" image="https://ledslac.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Captura-de-pantalla-2018-05-02-a-las-09.11.10-1024×702.png» image_width=»130″ image_height=»130″ link=»http://www.asomove.com/" linktext="" link_target="_blank" animation_type="" animation_direction="" animation_speed=""]The Costa Rican Electric Mobility Association ASOMOVE is a national non-profit association composed of users and interested in electric mobility.
