Details

This session will be a “policy towards implementation” session and will explore if and in what ways urban mobility is the key driver for achieving climate neutrality in cities. It will start from research and policy considerations and then support this hypothesis with concrete data and examples of pilots and demonstrations implemented in/by cities. The session aims to demonstrate that we will not be able to achieve climate-neutral cities if we do not achieve CO2 reductions from/in urban transport. Implementing solutions in domains like energy efficiency (in buildings) and greening/NBS can definitely support but without reductions of CO2 emission in urban transport climate-neutral cities will not be attained. In this context we will also touch upon aspects related to land-use and transport panning, urban public space design and mobility behaviour and patterns, and comment on how these determine/influence the city’s transport system sustainability. Speakers: Keynote: Octavia Stepan (CINEA) Clemence Cavoli (University College London) Sergio Fernández Balaguer (EMT Madrid) Andreas Piller (ICLEI) Brendan O’Brien (Dublin City Council) Lean Doody (Arup) Moderator: Salima Abu Jeriban (CINEA)
