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 Nordic Africa EV Summit 2026 will take place from 14–16 September 2026 at the Science Museum in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, practitioners, and electric mobility enthusiasts. The summit will provide a platform for high-level dialogue, industry engagement, practical workshops, and cross-sector collaboration to accelerate Africa’s transition to electric mobility.
The CIVITAS Forum 2026 will take place from 15–17 September 2026 in Thessaloniki, Greece, bringing together city representatives, mobility practitioners, policymakers, and experts to explore the future of sustainable and resilient urban mobility. Under the theme “Roots & Routes: Moving Forward to Competitive, Connected and Resilient Urban Mobility!”, the three-day forum will examine how cities can combine their heritage with innovative solutions, including active mobility, shared transport, electrification, technology, and community engagement, to build connected and future-ready transport systems.
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.
