Bridging the gap between the transport and energy sectors is crucial when seeking to achieve universal, efficient, safe, and green mobility while developing sustainable, and energy-efficient transport projects. The interconnections between energy and mobility, although widely recognized, have seldom been explored in detail and their potential has not been fully developed. Even within the energy and transport sectors themselves, silos exist, so it is perhaps not inconceivable that silos also exist between these two different sectors.

In a global event about the energy and mobility nexus led by SEforALL and the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO)-High Volume Transport (HVT) Applied Research Programme under the Sustainable Mobility for All (SuM4All) umbrella, a panel of experts will discuss how a new Digital Toolkit for Energy and Mobility acts as a multiplier of some of the best practices to achieve energy efficiency in transport through the lens of three policies:
• Promote public discussion on new mobility solutions
• Expand public transport infrastructure
• Plan for integrated multimodal freight transport Networks

This event is open to public policymakers, transport and energy experts, researchers, and the wider public and private sector stakeholders interested in or implementing action on low emission mobility addressing the nexus between transport, energy, and climate.
