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.
The Hamburg Sustainability Conference returns on 29-30 June 2026 under the theme "Global Alliances for a Shared Future."

The event is part of a broader Hamburg Sustainability Week. Further programme details are expected in the coming months.
The Political Ecology Network (POLLEN) holds its 2026 conference from 29 June to 3 July in Barcelona, Spain, hosted across the Universitat de Barcelona and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. The conference brings together researchers and practitioners in political ecology to explore the intersections of environment, power, and social justice. While not transport-specific, the programme engages with themes relevant to mobility justice, land use, and sustainability transitions. General registration is open until 18 May 2026.
The seventh edition of this conference takes place on 29-30 June 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand, at UNESCAP. Co-convened by UN DESA and the UNFCCC Secretariat in collaboration with UNESCAP, the event focuses on practical ways to translate integrated planning into coordinated implementation across climate, environment, and sustainable development. Ministers, policymakers, practitioners, the private sector, civil society, and youth will exchange country case studies and policy solutions addressing the interconnected crises of rising energy costs, intensifying climate impacts, environmental degradation, and mounting debt burdens. The conference is organised back-to-back with the ninth session of the ESCAP Committee on Environment and Development. Registration is open.
