Chile’s National Sustainable Mobility Strategy provides a strategic, action-oriented framework for urban mobility. Its goal is to assist national and local governments in enhancing cities’ capacities to plan, finance, and implement projects and measures that sustainably meet the mobility needs of people and goods both within cities and their surrounding areas.
This initiative offers a strategic, action-oriented framework for urban mobility, with the hope that it will help national and local governments strengthen cities’ capacities to plan, finance, and execute projects and measures that sustainably address the mobility needs of people and goods in cities and their surroundings.
It is based on a collaborative effort involving multiple sectors and actors, which will enable us to progress towards the goals of carbon neutrality by 2050 and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, promoting more sustainable, integrated, and equitable cities.

Goals for Chile
This initiative materializes through the National Urban Mobility Program for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation, which functions as a technical-financial instrument. This program will facilitate the systematization, organization, and financing of sustainable mobility initiatives.
This allows the country’s regions to design, implement, and monitor their Sustainable Mobility Plans. In this way, they can tackle the challenges Chile has committed to under the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015 and its 2020-2021 update.
The strategy and its associated instruments contribute to goal 13.2, which aims to “incorporate climate change measures into national policies, strategies, and plans,” as well as goal 11.a, which seeks to “support positive economic, social, and environmental links between urban, peri-urban, and rural areas by strengthening national and regional development planning.”
