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.

2 events,This year's PATH symposium brings together a diverse and inspiring array of voices from around the world who are committed to promoting walking and cycling as ways to create healthy and sustainable communities. Whether you are a policymaker, practitioner, advocate, or partner, the symposium provides a valuable platform for connecting with peers, sharing insights, and gaining inspiration from innovative approaches to advancing walking and cycling globally. Together, participants will explore how these active mobility solutions can help build healthier, safer, and more inclusive communities for everyone. Africa E-Mobility Week & Forum 2026 (#AEW2026) is a leading platform bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, development partners, researchers, investors, and mobility practitioners to advance Africa’s transition towards clean, inclusive, and sustainable electric mobility. Taking place from 28–30 September 2026 in Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa, the forum will provide a space to exchange knowledge, showcase emerging solutions, strengthen partnerships, and address the policy, financing, infrastructure, technology, and capacity challenges shaping Africa’s e-mobility transition. Be part of the conversation. Build partnerships. Shape the solutions that will drive Africa’s electric mobility future. |

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. |

1 event,The 9th edition of this annual flagship event on transport and climate takes place online from 5 to 9 October 2026, under the theme "Global Alliances and Opportunities for Decarbonising Transport." Over its past editions, the week has brought together more than 2,000 participants, experts, and decision-makers from over 100 countries to exchange ideas, build capacity, and develop solutions for a net-zero transport future. The 2026 programme also features a digital art exhibition open to photographers, filmmakers, poets, and makers worldwide, with submissions accepted until 18 September. Stay informed via their newsletter. |
2 events,This in-person training programme explores how automated and connected vehicles, buses, shuttles, and taxis can be integrated into public transport networks to create safer, greener, and more livable cities. Rather than assuming automation is inherently beneficial, the course examines the critical role of design, operation, and regulation in determining whether driverless vehicles help reduce congestion and reclaim urban space, or instead worsen sprawl and car dependency. Drawing on real-world lessons from mobility service providers currently operating automated fleets, participants will hear directly from practitioners, technologists, and policy experts shaping the future of driverless mobility. The programme combines operational case studies, technology and regulatory insights, and peer discussion to help attendees understand how automated vehicles, especially when paired with shared mobility models, can strengthen rather than compete with public transport systems. |
3 events,ITF Secretary-General Young Tae Kim addresses the inaugural session of the FIATA World Congress. This year’s Congress marks its 100th anniversary and is centered on the theme “Empowering Global Logistics.” It represents one of the most significant gatherings of global logistics stakeholders. The 2026 FIATA Congress will serve as an important platform for senior leaders to reflect on a century of progress and to help shape the future of resilient, efficient, and sustainable global supply chains. |

1 event,The first-ever Global Convening on Informal and Shared Mobility takes place from 26 to 28 October 2026 at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. GloCon brings together 400+ researchers, public officials, practitioners, workers, and operators to build interdisciplinary understanding of informal and shared mobility systems, with a particular focus on knowledge from and for the Global South. From matatus to tuk-tuks to jeepneys, these services are the main mode of travel for hundreds of millions of people and are critical to achieving the SDGs and decarbonizing transport. The convening centres the people who run and depend on these systems as active partners in shaping fair, inclusive, and people-centred mobility futures. Registration is open. |
