17 SDGs: Cover a broad range of social, economic, and environmental issues, with 169 specific targets.

Relevant SDGs for Green Transport: SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action).

Principles of Green Transport: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing air and noise pollution, promoting energy efficiency, encouraging public transport and non-motorized transport (walking, cycling), and adopting cleaner fuel technologies (e.g., electric vehicles).

Key Components: Investment in public transport infrastructure, promotion of electric vehicles, development of smart cities with integrated transport systems, use of renewable energy in transport, and policies to reduce private vehicle dependency.

India's Commitment: India is a signatory to the 2030 Agenda and has integrated SDGs into its national planning through bodies like NITI Aayog, which publishes the SDG India Index.

Benefits: Improved public health, reduced traffic congestion, enhanced energy security, economic growth through green jobs, and climate change mitigation.

Inter-linkages: Green transport initiatives contribute to multiple SDGs, such as reducing poverty (SDG 1) by improving accessibility, and promoting good health (SDG 3) by reducing pollution.
