In recent years, the road transport sector has been the only sector where emissions have consistently increased. However, this trend has been recognized by European partnerships and policies, which have acknowledged the association between transport and health, as well as their broader co-benefits. This was further emphasized in the Budapest Declaration adopted by countries in the WHO European Region, which highlighted the importance of promoting healthy, safe, climate-friendly, and inclusive mobility and transport.
Now, the question is how can we capitalize on these favorable conditions to bring about transformative change in Europe through local clean transport solutions that prioritize health, safety, and environmental friendliness? To answer this question, EPHA is hosting an informative event that aims to delve into the crucial links between clean mobility policies and health outcomes. The event seeks to explore why it is important to prioritize health in mobility planning and to advocate for sustainable, affordable, accessible, and healthy transport solutions for all.
Following the event, there will be a light networking lunch where participants can further engage and exchange ideas. By attending this event, attendees will gain valuable insights into how they can contribute to achieving transformative change from the city to the European level beyond 2024. They will also have an opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals who share their passion for promoting healthy transportation options.
