Community Transport Events Calendar
Transport sits at the crossroads of climate action, sustainability, and social justice. Knowing where the global conversation is happening is how we show up, speak up, and shape outcomes.
This calendar is a one-stop resource for upcoming events that matter to the sustainable transport community: UN climate and SDG processes, sector-specific forums, ministerial summits, research convenings, and key advocacy moments. Urban mobility, freight, road safety, active transport, energy, finance: if it connects to the transformation of transport systems for people and the planet, it belongs here.
SLOCAT partners and friends are welcome to submit events for inclusion. Send your event details to secretariat@slocatpartnership.org.
Research Forum and Launch of New Study on Informal and Shared Mobility in Southeast Europe and Central Asia
VREF Research Forum to be held this September will spotlight new evidence on informal and shared mobility in Southeast Europe and Central Asia, presenting findings from VREF’s latest regional study, “Informal and Shared Mobility: Status, Challenges, and Opportunities in Southeast Europe and Central Asia.”
Led by Egor Muleev and Wladimir Sgibnev of the Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography, with contributions from researchers across Serbia, Kyrgyzstan, Greece, and Uzbekistan, the study examines the role, challenges, and opportunities associated with marshrutkas, informal taxis, and other forms of shared mobility across the region.
Building on VREF’s earlier regional assessments in China, India, and Southeast Asia, the Forum will explore how informal and shared transport systems shape mobility and what their implications are for transport policy and governance. The discussion will offer regional evidence and policy insights to inform more inclusive and context-responsive approaches to sustainable transport planning.
