About
In the face of multiple crises – climate and energy, geopolitical, cost-of-living – the challenges and opportunities for sustainable mobility are complex and evolving. What implications do these challenges hold for the specific contexts of Portugal and Spain, within the wider context of the European Green Deal? And how can we safeguard a green and socially just mobility transition?
By putting a spotlight on these challenges while fostering a trans-European exchange on best practices, this event series seeks to nurture the debate in Portugal and Spain around the future of mobility. It seeks to bring together relevant stakeholders from civil society, academia, and politics to discuss and explore key questions, tensions, and opportunities for the future of mobility and the Green Deal in Europe.
