Unlocking Transformative Change: How Clean Mobility Policies Can Improve Public Health and Contribute to a More Sustainable Future in Europe

In recent years, emissions in the road transport sector have been consistently increasing, making it the only sector where this trend is observed. The association between transport and health, as well as their broader co-benefits, has been acknowledged by European partnerships and policies. This was further emphasized in the Budapest Declaration adopted by countries in the WHO European Region, which emphasized the importance of promoting healthy, safe, climate-friendly, and inclusive mobility and transport.

The question now 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 explore this topic further, EPHA is hosting an informative event that aims to delve into the crucial links between clean mobility policies and health outcomes. This event is viewed as essential for achieving transformative change from the city to the European level beyond 2024.

The event seeks to explore the reasons why it is important to prioritize health in mobility planning and 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, you will gain a deeper understanding of how clean mobility policies can improve public health outcomes and contribute to a more sustainable future for Europe.
