Climate needs action: webinar on achieving low carbon transport in cities

The webinar will bring together stakeholders from three countries: UK, Romania and Bulgaria. They represent policy makers, business, researchers and academic experts to discuss how to move to cleaner economic growth through low carbon innovations and technologies in cities and transport, while considering efficient use of resources. The event aims at driving local policy-makers, industry and scientists to increase their ambition around climate change improved solutions. It will demonstrate the UK leadership in taking action to protect, sustainably manage, and restore the environment. The journey towards carbon neutral smart cities will tackle systems efficiency by explaining how to avoid or reduce the need to travel, as well as how to achieve a sustainable trip by shifting to more environmentally friendly transport modes. Vehicle performance will be illustrated through presenting innovations in energy efficiency of transport modes and vehicle technology. The webinar will be part of a series of events, whose objective is to develop a network of experts in the Eastern Balkans region, which will work with UK partners to identify answers and implement jointly the most efficient solutions to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Green recovery will be also considered as part of the current concerns.
