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.
