Week for Sustainable Mobility and Climate 2022
Joint Plenary: Sustainable mobility and Just Transition: Towards the COP27 and the African Union Agenda 2063
Sustainable mobility and Just Transition: Towards the COP27 and the African Union Agenda 2063
Although mobility of citizens is a common thread of societal and climate issues around the world, it is not understood and organised in the same way everywhere. This session aims to launch the debate on public policies for transport and global mobility. Speakers will talk about the major lessons of 40 years of support from CODATU and more recently Climate Chance. Finally, the debate will focus on the prerequisites and the mobilizable potential both in Africa and in the rest of the world, to achieve a just transition.
