SUMMARY:Shifting Gear: Accelerating Active Mobility for Future Generations
DESCRIPTION:The Government of Netherlands\, World Resources Institute\, Transportation Decarbonisation Alliance\, European Cyclists’ Federation\, Walk21 and the Dutch Cycling Embassy cordially invite you to attend the COP27 side event ‘Shifting Gear: Accelerating Active Mobility for Future Generations’. \n\n\n\nThis event will emphasize active mobility as an essential factor in the system approach to sustainable mobility. The session will be closed with the launch of a Call for Action to support Active Mobility Capacity Building. \n\n\n\nActive mobility networks are increasingly recognized as sustainable\, equitable and healthy solutions for climate impact. They provide lowest emissions and most affordable\, cost-efficient accessible modes of transport. Several initiatives have emerged in the past few years to fill the investment gaps in walking and cycling. Most of these initiatives have been focused on the developing world through national and local government investments. Yet the interest in sustainable transport options is growing worldwide\, especially in the developing world where these modes are already substantial. \n\n\n\nTwo panels will highlight the importance of leveraging international financing for active mobility and focus on steps needed\, to help accelerating implementation of active mobility infrastructure and policies beyond the creation of financing initiatives. \n\n\n\nThe session will conclude in a call to action to build capacity for active mobility. \n\n\n\n09:30 – Opening statementsMr Lucas Harms\, CEO\, Dutch Cycling Embassy (moderator)Ms Vivianne Heijnen\, Minister for the Environment of the NetherlandsMr Felipe Ramirez\, Urban Mobility Director\, WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities \n\n\n\n09:50 – Panel 1: Accelerating implementation of active mobility infrastructure and policiesMs Sharon Dijksma\, Mayor of Utrecht and Climate Envoy ICLEIMr Manuel de Araujo\, Mayor of QuelimaneMs Bronwen Thornton\, CEO\, Walk21 \n\n\n\n10:20 – Panel 2: Leveraging international financing for active mobilityMr Nicolas Peltier\, Director for Transport\, World Bank Global Mr Niklas Hagelberg\, UNEP\, Global Coordinator Climate ChangeMs Jill Warren\, CEO\, ECF \n\n\n\n10:50 – Transport Decarbonisation Alliance Launch call to action to support active mobility capacity-building \n\n\n\n11:00 End of session \n\n\n\n\nMORE INFORMATION\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION (IN-PERSON)\n\n\n\nLIVESTREAM

SUMMARY:Smart City Expo World Congress - New Ways to Achieve Gender Equality in Transport
DESCRIPTION:While it is common to consider urban transport to be gender-neutral\, transport planning is unconsciously biased towards traditional male travel patterns and modes. A growing body of evidence points to the differences between men and women travel patterns and mode usage. What are the structural gender differences and mobility patterns resulting from them? \n\n\n\nThis session is part of the Smart City Expo World Congress 2022\, held in Barcelona. \n\n\n\nModerator: Jorgina Cuixart (EIT Urban Mobility) \n\n\n\nKeynote: – Heather Allen\, Senior Consultant on Gender and Sustainable Transport\, Median SRL \n\n\n\nKeynote: – Jim Walker\, Director\, Walk21 \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nHenk Swarttouw\, President European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF)\n\n\n\nLídia Montero Associate\, Professor Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)\n\n\n\nLena Acker\, Product Owner Data-Driven Mobility\, Mercedes-Benz AG\n\n\n\nCarles Casas Esplugas\, Director of Strategic and Prospective Planning\, Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya\, FGC\n\n\n\n\nLinks: \n\n\n\n\nKeynote 1: https://www.smartcityexpo.com/agenda/new-ways-to-achieve-gender-equality-in-transport-keynote-heather-allen/\n\n\n\nKeynote 2: https://www.smartcityexpo.com/agenda/new-ways-to-achieve-gender-equality-in-transport-keynote-jim-walker/\n\n\n\nRoundtable: https://www.smartcityexpo.com/agenda/new-ways-to-achieve-gender-equality-in-transport-roundtable/\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Barcelona / online.

SUMMARY:The Role of Active Travel and Public Transport in the New Mobility Paradigm
DESCRIPTION:At last year’s COP26\, pressure from advocacy groups led to a last-minute insertion in the Transport Declaration which acknowledged the importance of active travel\, public and shared transport in achieving climate goals: \n\n\n\n\n‘We recognize that alongside the shift to zero emission vehicles\, a sustainable future for road transport will require wider system transformation\, including support for active travel\, public and shared transport\, as well as addressing the full value chain impacts from vehicle production\, use and disposal.‘ \n\n\n\n\nIndeed\, sustainable modes such as walking\, cycling\, public transport and rail must play a much greater role in the transport and mobility mix if we are to ever achieve Paris Agreement targets. Yet these modes often lack the priority and funding they require to maximise the environmental\, health\, socioeconomic and liveability benefits they can deliver. \n\n\n\nA successful wider system transformation towards these sustainable modes will require not only prioritisation and funding but also an integrated approach between active and public transport that nurtures the symbiotic relationship between walking\, cycling and public transit in our cities. \n\n\n\nModerator: Lucie Anderton (UIC). \n\n\n\nConfirmed speakers: Professor Juan Carlos Munoz (Minister of Transport\, Santiago\, Chile)\, Bronwen Thornton (Walk21)\, Francois Davenne (UIC)\, Jill Warren (ECF)\, Mohamed Mezgahani (UITP)\, Cecile Texier (Alstom Transport) Cecilia Andersson (UN Habitat)\, Eamon Ryan (Minister for Transport and Minister for Climate of Ireland)\, Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim (Land Transport Authority\, Singapore). \n\n\n\n\nLivestream

SUMMARY:COP27 Side event - SLOCAT Transport Day
DESCRIPTION:This year’s edition of SLOCAT Transport Day at COP is dedicated to the topic of enabling meaningful investment across these modes towards a transformative systemic shift in mobility. At COP27 Sharm el Sheikh\, governments\, multilateral organisations\, international financial institutions and national development banks must act to meaningfully scale-up walking\, cycling and public transport systems\, particularly in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. The SLOCAT Partnership calls on these stakeholders to enable walking\, cycling and public transport solutions with specific\, measurable\, attainable\, relevant and time-based action in six areas. \n\n\n\nThrough Transport Days\, the SLOCAT Partnership is leveraged to set ambitious global agendas and catalyse new thinking and solutions for the urgent transformation of transport and mobility systems as a solution to many of the world’s climate and sustainability challenges. The outcomes of this event will feed into SLOCAT’s work in support of ambitious national and subnational climate strategies\, as well as into our engagement in the Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement. Moreover\, they will be conveyed to the Egyptian COP27 Presidency as a complement to their leadership towards a COP27 Sustainable Urban Transport Initiative. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nTransport Community Engagement at COP27\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nSLOCAT Trello board

SUMMARY:COP27 Side Event - Unlocking a pathway to low-carbon transport in African cities without compromising economic growth
DESCRIPTION:Globally\, nearly a quarter of all energy-related carbon emissions come from the transport sector\, making transport critical to achieving the ambitious Paris Agreement. The contribution from African countries to transport emissions has historically been low compared to the rest of the world\, but they are increasing in line with increased prosperity and growing economies. \n\n\n\nThis session explores how economic growth in African countries can continue without adding to CO2. Rather than Africa’s need for improved mobility presenting a threat to the environment\, could it present an opportunity by identifying new and better ways to develop low-carbon transport pathways? \n\n\n\nChair: Henry Kerali (High Volume Transport; University of Birmingham).  \n\n\n\nSpeakers:  \n\n\n\nClive Roberts (University of Birmingham)Gary Haq (Stockholm Environment Institute; University of York)Romanus Opiyo (Stockholm Environment Institute)Bronwen Thornton (Walk21) \n\n\n\n\nMore information\n\n\n\nOnline registration
