For cities to function successfully the urban mobility system must provide access to social, economic and opportunities for its citizens. To be sustainable - mobility must be safe, clean and affordable for all especially those in marginalised groups. To deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals, the New Urban Agenda and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change urban access needs to be expanded whilst minimising the negative environmental and health impacts.

The event will highlight how the Global Climate Action (GCA) - Transport initiatives are delivering action on the ground and developing strategies that will help scale up national ambition which can help trigger widespread action to decarbonize land transport. Speakers will include representatives from transport initiatives and leading international organisations engaged on low carbon transport responsible for implementing activities in the transport sector.
Draft Agenda:
The 2018 Summit on “Transport Safety and Security” will address issues ranging from terrorism and cyber-security to road safety and extreme weather disruption, including the risks and benefits of automated driving. Safety and security are core concerns for transport. A transport system that is safe and secure enables passengers to travel without fear and allows businesses to ship goods reliably and efficiently.
During the International Transport Forum, the Transport Decarbonisation Alliance (TDA) will have a press conference on May 24. For the press conference a Press Kit with press release, TDA Briefing note and list of speakers info will be distributed at the beginning.
Host: Mark Major, Senior Advisor, Sustainable Low Carbon Transport Partnership (SLoCaT)
