The main objective of the EST process in Asia is to integrate environmentally sustainable transport in the overall policy, planning and development, by sensitizing the local and national governments, the private sector, and civil society, in order to contribute and follow up the
 Outcome of Rio+20 – The Future We Want, SG’s High-level Panel on Transport, post-2015 Development Agenda/SDGs and other global processes. The immediate objective of the proposed project are more explicitly the following:
 - To achieve a safe, efficient, reliable, economically sound, socially inclusive and
 environmentally protective transport system for smart, resilient and sustainable society
 in Asia by integrating EST in overall policy, planning and development; and
 - To establish a strategic Knowledge Base Platform on EST in Asia to meet the needs of the developing countries in the region. 
 In order to achieve these objectives, it is necessary to set appropriate goals and targets, and monitor the progress of achievement by member countries every year. To this regard, EST Forum was established which is a strategic and knowledge platform for sharing experiences and
 disseminating among Asian countries best practices, tools, technologies, policy instruments and achievement on various aspects of the EST. It is equally important to strengthen the multilayer partnership for effective implementation of EST as outlined in the Aichi Statement, Kyoto Declaration, Bangkok 2020 Declaration (2010-2020), Bali Declaration (2013), Colombo Declaration (2014), and the Kyoto Declaration (2007) & it’s Addendum (2014).

The objectives of the proposed Project are more explicitly the following: 

 - To achieve a low carbon and resource efficient society in Asia by integrating 3Rs in overall policy, planning and development.

 - To strengthen multilayer partnership for effective implementation of 3Rs as outlined in Ha Noi 3R Declaration (2013-2023).
