Work Plan
THE
PEP work plan was adopted by the second High-level Meeting on
Transport, Health and Environment Geneva, 5 July 2002). It
outlines specific activities that serve as examples of how progress
could be achieved in the priority areas. It is implemented through
short-term work programmes adopted by THE
PEP Steering Committee.
Programme
of Work (2003-2005)
Four initial
projects were endorsed for the period January 2003 - December 2005
by THE PEP Steering Committee at its first session (Geneva, 10-11
April 2003) :
> Clearing
House on Transport, Health and Environment
> Urban plans for transport sustainable
for health and the environment
> Transport-related health impacts
and their costs
> Indicators to monitor the
integration of environmental and health aspects into transport policies
and the impact of these policies on health and the environment
Other projects
under THE PEP Work Plan include a project on energy efficient driving
("eco-driving") behaviour undertaken by the Netherlands (see the
report
presented at the second session of the Steering Committee (Geneva,
29-30 March 2004)).
New
projects under THE PEP Work Plan endorsed for implementation
by the Steering Committee at its second session (Geneva, 29-30 March
2004):
>
Practical
guidance on institutional arrangements and mechanisms for integrated
policy and decision-making
This
project aims at providing practical guidance on institutional and
administrative mechanisms to promote integrated policy- and decision-making
among the environment, health and transport areas, following up
on one of the conclusions of the Cyprus
Workshop on "Sustainable and healthy urban transport and land-use
planning".
The
Steering Committee at its second session acknowledged the importance
of well-adapted institutional structures and adequate organisational
support for cross-sectoral integration, and admitted the existing
insufficiencies in this field especially in the EECCA countries.
It endorsed the proposal to collect practical experiences, good
practices and lessons learned of the member Countries focusing
specifically on institutional aspects of integration. This information
would be made available and disseminated through THE PEP Clearing
House.
