Decarbonising Transport, Berlin
14-15 November 2016
The conference discussions will focus on what transport has to deliver on decarbonisation, following the agreement on ambitious carbon-reduction targets at the Paris UN COP 21 climate summit. Differentiating the performance of emerging transport and mobility services and systems will be fundamental in implementing a successful transition to the required sustainable, low-carbon transformation path.
If implemented rightly, smart mobility systems and services can contribute to the needed decarbonisation of the transport sector, but also help address persistent problems of congestion and accessibility through better utilisation of underused assets in transport vehicles and infrastructures. Although if implemented wrongly, these systems and services can aggravate current problems.
The conference’s discussions will be structured around the EU Commission consultation of future priorities of strategic transport research and innovation actions in the context of overall European climate mitigation and decarbonisation efforts. More information is available here.
