It’s time to save the date for the next Transport and Climate Change Week on June 21-25, 2021 in Berlin and worldwide!

On behalf of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), GIZ‘s TRANSfer project is organising the 5th Transport and Climate Change Week under the slogan “Smart and green recovery in the transport sector”.

The Transport and Climate Change Week 2021 will connect the transport community around the globe with a series of innovations that open the door for active participation despite COVID-19 travel restrictions around the world. In addition to the regular event in Berlin, international participants will be able to join via decentral event hubs in their country or region that will connect digitally to the hub in Berlin and offer a broader programme beyond the “Berlin Programme”.

Cities around the world are facing environmental and social issues in urban freight. Cargo bikes have become an increasingly popular and practical last-mile delivery solution in many cities worldwide. Micro consolidation hubs enable the shift of goods from high polluting trucks to cargo bikes and replace vans in last-mile delivery. However, many city design guidelines and infrastructure do not consider the needs of goods movement by cargo bikes. In this exchange, we will discuss the challenges and benefits of cargo bikes, understand the needs of service providers, implementation challenges and what cities can do to encourage the use of cargo bikes highlighting specific city case studies.

This is an exchange among the EcoLogistics Cities and cities interested in understanding last-mile logistics. Cities will share challenges, trends and opportunities in implementing cargo bikes as last-mile logistics solutions.

*** This event is exclusively for government staff working in cities, towns, counties and other local agencies.

The ITS World Congress is the world’s largest and most prominent event focused on smart mobility and the digitalisation of transportation.

Every year, ERTICO organises a European or World Congress in a major European City, with the ITS World Congress in Europe every third year.

The Congresses are the yearly celebration of smart mobility: they underline the importance of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), particularly in cities and regions where they are hosted, and provide an excellent platform that supports the education, thought-leadership, business development, and the overall steady growth of the smart mobility industrial growth. They include live, interactive and thought-provoking sessions where industry experts present the latest developments in ITS, showcasing and demonstrating cutting-edge technology within the event’s spacious exhibition, technical tours and live demonstration opportunities. The Congresses offers stakeholders and patrons the ultimate platform to meet with industry influencers, discuss the latest and most seminal topics facing the market, meet with decision makers, get insights on future industrial technological advances and the future policies required to support the rapid growth of the sector.

The annual Urban Mobility India (UMI) Conference and Expo is a flagship event held under the aegis of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India. The event is inaugurated by Hon’ble Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs. The genesis of UMI is from the National Urban Transport Policy of the Government of India, 2006 (NUTP), which lays a very strong emphasis on building capabilities at the State and city level to address the problems associated with urban transport and undertake the task of developing sustainable urban transport systems.

MOVE brings together the people and companies redefining the transport industry around the world: MOVE in London, MOVE America in Austin and MOVE Asia in Singapore.
Now in its third year, MOVE has grown to over 10,000 attendees. It has become the event for founders and CEOs of the world’s most influential companies in urban mobility to come together and let us know: what is next.

MOVE has become a critical meeting place for buyers and sellers across the mobility value chain. OEMs, transport operators, tech companies, energy companies, fast growing startups and policymakers gather every year to discover next generation technologies being brought into the market place.

The world around us is changing like never before; in the face of a crisis, our cities – and how we move about them – cry out for rapid rethinking. We need a recovery that means not just a return to the old status quo, but to a world of mobility that better serves our cities and their citizens. We need A New Deal for Mobility, and that’s why CoMotion is convening key global urban and mobility leaders to answer the call. Join them this November 16 to 18, 2021.

Global mayors and policymakers, leading technologists, public transport operators and venture capitalists, start-ups and established players – all will gather at an event of critical importance: CoMotion LA LIVE.
