If we are to meet our climate pledges and commitments, emissions in the transport sector must be immediately reversed, especially in our cities. Based on integrated sustainable urban mobility planning and strong governance, the rail and public transport sector will be a key player in driving the new and strengthening multimodal transport development strategies in the region. Major investments in public transport show that the Mediterranean region is witnessing a clear paradigm shift towards more sustainable transport, in line with the SDGs. The event will highlight potentials for the sector, success stories and available opportunities needed to enhance the contribution of public transport and urban mobility in the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), including the commitment to its financing, and help raise the level of ambition and the quality of daily life for all while reversing rising transport emissions, reducing their carbon footprint and transforming cities.
