Formulation of a National EST Strategy for the Philippines

1. Formulation of a National EST Strategy for the Philippines Inception Report Partnership Meeting NCTS – Toyota Training Room October 24, 2008 NCTS Study Team

2. Outline of presentation • Introduction – objective & overall goal • Thematic Areas • Review • Conceptual Framework • Methodology - Flowchart of Activities • Draft Consultation Instrument • Strategy Development • Towards the First Draft

3. Objective: To develop and mainstream EST strategies that are sensitive to future development scenarios Scenarios include: economic growth, population growth, urbanization, increase in vehicles

4. Overall Goal of the Strategy: • Reduction of the annual growth rate of energy consumption and associated GHG emissions from the transport sector in urban areas of the country • Enhance sustainable mobility through the development of a viable market for environmentally sustainable transport (EST) goods and services, which involves, among others, the promotion of transportation systems of low carbon intensity and shift towards the use of more sustainable transport modes

5. Strategy must address the following aspects: • Where is the Philippines currently heading to? [issues & challenges] • Where does the Philippines want to head to? [i.e., goals and visions] • How will the Philippines head to those desired situations/achieve these goals? [i.e., strategies, measures, actions, financial mechanisms]

12. EST Thematic Areas • Cleaner Fuels • Public Transport Planning and Travel Demand Management (TDM) • Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) • Environment and People Friendly Infrastructure Development

13. EST Thematic Areas • Social Equity and Gender Perspectives • Road Safety and Maintenance • Knowledge Base, Awareness and Public Participation • Land-Use Planning

14. Review Matrix

15. Initial Findings of Literature Review • Many studies and initiatives have focused on urban areas (i.e., urban bias) • Strong areas (in terms of planning): PT Planning & TDM, Transport Road Safety, Public Health, Knowledge & Awareness • Weak areas (in terms of strategy): Traffic Noise Monitoring, Fuel Quality, NMT, Social Equity, Envi & People Friendly • Marginal areas: Roadside Air Quality, MV Inspection, Land use planning,

16. Conceptual Framework – Conventional Approach Contextual Factors (e.g. culture, gender, political economy) Contextual Factors (e.g. governance, inter-sector linkages) Impacts (Economic, Social and Environmental) Provision of Transport Infrastructure Economic Development Policy Environment Factors (e.g. transport policies, environmental regulations) Situational Factors (e.g. quality of transport) The challenge is to lessen the negative impacts of transport infrastructure provision without retarding economic development.

17. Conceptual Framework – Creating Effective Links Contextual Factors (e.g. culture, gender, political economy) Contextual Factors (e.g. governance, inter-sector linkages) Impacts (Economic, Social and Environmental) Provision of Transport Infrastructure Economic Development Policy Environment Factors (e.g. transport and land use policies, environmental regulations) Situational Factors (e.g. quality of transport) To be effective, the National EST Strategy shouldprovide (indirect) links to contextual factors.

18. Conceptual Framework Contextual Factors (e.g. governance, inter-sector linkages) Contextual Factors (e.g. culture, gender, political economy) Impacts (Economic, Social and Environmental) Provision of Transport Infrastructure Economic Development Policy Environment Factors (e.g. transport policies, environmental regulations) System Attributes (e.g. quality of transport) BAU NESTS Approach By way of a National EST Strategy, we can foster an EST-sensitive policy environment.

20. Draft Consultation InstrumentQuestionnaire for distribution (advance) as well as for use during the consultation meetings with stakeholders

21. Strategy Development • The strategy should effect transformation in planning, policy-making and implementation processes in the transport sector by: • establishing an enabling policy environment for the implementation of EST • increasing local government investment on environmentally sustainable transport; • improving the performance of in-use and locally manufactured vehicles; and • enhancing the capacity and awareness of key stakeholders on EST

22. Proposed Timetable Launch project in Clean Air Month (November) Process of localizing/ mainstreaming the process/EST should be initiated and cities where EST will be piloted identified and engaged during the project. Present at Forum to be held in Korea - Includes formulation of policy recommendations, draft legislation, and other pertinent documents in support of the National EST Strategy NESTP endorsed to NEDA Board by November 2009
