One of the biggest environmental challenges today is mobility.
A dense network of vehicles and transport systems is required to meet even the basic needs of urban economy – cars, buses, trucks etc. and each one of them leave their carbon footprint.
1/4 of global CO2 emissions comes from transporting people and goods – that makes solutions for sustainable mobility a hot challenge for cities. Thus, every one of us need to make a choice: exchange cars for public transport or other sustainable means of transport – like bicycles, electromobiles or electric scooters, maybe even walk more or share cars with neighbours.
We are empowered to offer and develop solutions ourselves to ensure sustainable mobility and more climate-friendly alternatives. Let’s discuss these ideas on June 16!
This will be a hybrid event: you may choose physical participation or live broadcast in the registration form.
