Transport is central to achieving national climate goals. Yet transport-specific targets remain uneven across Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), creating a gap between national climate commitments and the policies and investments required to translate them into action. This webinar will examine how countries across Asia and the Pacific can strengthen transport-related climate targets and translate them into actionable policies and investments. It will explore regional trends in low-carbon transport and assess how transport policies across Southeast Asia and neighbouring subregions align with national climate targets. A key highlight of the session will be the launch of Delivering India’s NDC Targets: Role of Transport, a new report by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). The report presents lessons from India that can inform countries in Southeast Asia and across the region as they prepare or revise their transport-related climate commitments. The session will also introduce new tools from the Asian Transport Observatory (ATO), covering development assistance flows, electric mobility supply chains, and multi-hazard climate risk across Asia and the Pacific, including Southeast Asia. The discussion will highlight how stronger data, analytical tools, and regional collaboration can support more ambitious, evidence-based, and implementable transport-sector climate targets.
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.

Join the launch of the flagship report "Turning Points: Enabling Sustainable Transport in Africa," where GIZ and Agora Verkehrswende will present twelve key strategies and opportunities to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport across the Africa, collaboratively developed with stakeholders from across the continent. The webinar will also offer a timely opportunity to identify strategic pathways for advancing these "turning points" through the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport (2026–2035) and beyond. |

1 event,The 4th Global Mobility Conference, will be held 7–9 September 2026, hosted by ITF, MOLIT, and KOTSA. It responds to a key tension in advanced mobility today: while technologies like autonomous vehicles and urban air mobility have moved beyond pilots into real-world deployment across cities, significant gaps remain between demonstration success and sustainable, at-scale services, largely because regulation, operations, public trust, and viable business models struggle to keep pace with technological progress. The conference will bring together experts, innovators, operators, and policymakers to examine what is and isn't working, and to chart a path for turning promising mobility innovations into solutions reliably integrated into everyday life. |
2 events,The Regional Conference on Autonomous Vehicles in Asia and the Pacific, hosted by ESCAP, will take place on 9–10 September 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand, in a hybrid format allowing both in-person and virtual participation. The conference brings together policymakers, industry leaders, technical experts, and other changemakers from across the region to examine how autonomous vehicle technologies can help build transport systems that are safer, greener, more inclusive, and more efficient. Discussions will focus on the latest policy, regulatory, and governance approaches to autonomous mobility, with participants sharing national and regional experiences, emerging best practices, and lessons learned. Through this exchange, the conference aims to shape a shared vision and practical pathways for integrating autonomous vehicles into the future of transport across Asia and the Pacific. |

1 event,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. |
2 events,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. |

1 event,The 39th session of the UNECE Working Party on Transport Trends and Economics (WP.5) will take place from 23–25 September 2026 at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. The session opens with a high-level special segment on inter-regional transport connectivity, bringing together senior officials to explore synergies between ECE inland transport corridors and initiatives in the Middle East, Gulf, Africa, and Asia-Pacific regions. The agenda covers a wide range of priorities, including progress on Euro-Asian Transport Links (such as the Trans-Caspian and Almaty–Tehran–Istanbul corridors and EATL Railway Route No. 1), updates on the Trans-European Motorway and Railway projects, the Trans-European Transport Network, and Mediterranean regional transport cooperation. Delegates will also review the International Transport Infrastructure Observatory, climate resilience initiatives (including a new Technical Body on Inland Transport Climate Resilience and a Quick Guide on assessing critical transport assets), efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from inland transport, and the rollout of a new Cycle Route Network Convention group of experts. Further sessions address inland transport security, strategic foresight in transport policymaking, technical assistance to countries with economies in transition (including the SITCIN platform and support for landlocked developing countries), and updates from other ECE bodies. |

2 events,Renewable energy deployment is rapidly increasing worldwide. However, successfully scaling renewables involves more than just setting targets, adding capacity, and considering technology costs. It also requires attention to people, land, trust, and local value. The KEA–REN21 International Event on Community Energy, Agrivoltaics, and the Renewables-Based Economy will gather Korean, Asian, and international policymakers, local governments, community representatives, farmers, industry stakeholders, civil society organizations, researchers, and practitioners. The event aims to explore how renewable energy can be deployed in a way that benefits and engages communities. Given the growing concerns about energy security, increasing electricity demand, land-use pressures, and challenges related to public acceptance, this event will focus on practical models that enable renewables to generate local value, support economic development, and create income opportunities for host communities. |
