The Role of Sustainable Mobility in a Changing Climate

This side event will use the new Global Mobility Report—the first ever joint assessment of the transport sector globally—as the backdrop for this high-level discussion on what should be done to achieve sustainable mobility, as measured by four global goals: universal access, efficiency, safety and green mobility.  The outcome of this panel discussion will feed into a new roadmap of actions towards sustainable mobility currently under preparation by the Sustainable Mobility for All (SuM4All) consortium.  SuM4All is a global, multi-stakeholder partnership consisting of over 50 leading organizations in transport acting collectively to transform the sector.

The event will be divided into two segments – both panel discussions.

• The first half of the event will discuss the findings of the Global Mobility Report (GMR), the synergies and tradeoffs among the four global goals, and how this can inform the preparation of a global roadmap of actions to achieve sustainable mobility. The panelists will be senior decision-makers and influencers.
• The second half of the event will focus on the “green mobility” goal, and discuss how the various modes of transport could contribute to achieving this goal, while ensuring that universal access, efficiency and safety goals are equally met.  These panelists will also be senior decision-makers and influencers.
