The side event Sustainable Mobility for All: How Mobility Can Contribute to the Eradication of Poverty & Promotion of Prosperity, co-organized by UN DESA and the World Bank. It will take place on July 10th, 6:15pm in Conference Room 6.
Speakers:
Safe and sustainable mobility is integral to achieving the 2017 HLPF theme ‘Eradicating poverty and promoting prosperity in a changing world.’ The poorest bear the greatest burden of unsafe roads. The health and life chances of millions are held back by inequitable access to mobility. Preventable road traffic crashes inflict immense economic costs on countries; huge financial burdens and pressure on health systems; and crushing debt on millions of families, often resulting in lost economic and educational opportunities.
The side event will contribute to the theme of this year’s HLPF by focusing on policies and tools that are found effective in promoting eradicating poverty and promoting prosperity, such as Integrated Regional Development Planning (IRDP), the International Guidelines on Urban and Territorial Planning, national urban policies, strengthening policies and capacity to address regional disparities, territorial approach to food security a

Sustainable aviation is a driver for economic development, trade and tourism. Air transportation is instrumental in facilitating humanitarian and disaster response to crises and public health emergencies. For countries in special situations, such as least developed countries (LDCs), small island developing States (SIDS) and landlocked developing countries (LLDCs), aviation represents an essential lifeline to connect to the world.
In partnership with the Souss-Massa region, the next Climate Chance Summit will be held from 11 to 13 September 2017 in Agadir, Morocco.
Unique in its international dimension and its capacity to bring together a large majority of non-state actors upstream of the UN Climate Conferences, the Climate Chance Summit provides an annual opportunity to discuss thematic coalitions, share best practices and the concrete actions put in place by these actors to combat climate change.
