Pre-Summit Transport Workday | Climate Action 2016

The World Bank, World Resources Institute and the Paris Process on Mobility and Climate (PPMC) are co-organizing a Transport Workday to be held on May 4 in Washington, D.C., at The Mayflower Hotel. This Workday, ahead of the Climate Action 2016 Summit, aims to inform the transport discussions at the Summit.

At this May 4 Transport Workday, you will hear from and collaborate with an unparalleled group of leaders from government, business, cities, and civil society as they look into the future interaction of mobility and climate change. With the Paris Climate agreement as a backdrop, this meeting will discuss a global vision, a set of objectives, and a roadmap of action to transform the world’s mobility.

You and other participants will help lay the groundwork and set the strategic direction for global action on mobility. The ideas generated will be fed into the high-level discussions and agreements on sustainable mobility to be reached during the May 5–6 “Climate Action 2016” Summit.
