Shaping urban mobility – An integrated approach by the TUMI initiative

The objective of this training is to develop concrete sustainable urban mobility implementation strategies that help delivering on the SDGs, the Paris Agreement and the New Urban Agenda. The training will follow a structured approach to boost low-carbon, healthy accessible, inclusive urban mobility measures and strategies. The training will work on concrete steps towards a maximum impact in regards to a complete strategy based on a. capacity building and policy advisory, b. finance, c. fast-scaling pilot projects. This event will showcase activities of TUMI Partners and cities working together on sustainable urban mobility and will offer the opportunity to urban mobility leaders to learn more, meet the initiative and exchange experiences tackling the biggest challenges towards enabling sustainable urban mobility.

The Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI, transformative-mobility.org) is aiming to shape the future of sustainable urban mobility together with its partners ADB, BMZ, CAF, C40, GIZ, ICLEI, ITDP, KfW, SLOCAT, UN-HABITAT and WRI.

Sustainable Mobility is necessary to reach development and climate goals. Mobility is the door opener for more holistic and integrated urban development due to various (co-)benefits and its primal role for spatial development. Sustainable Mobility is a central theme to AGENDA 2030, seven (7) of 17 SDGs are related to mobility. Many other SDGs can't be reached without sustainable Mobility e.g. SDG 11 Sustainable Cities, SDG 13 Climate Protection, SDG 3 Health. Transport is responsible for 28% of energy related GHG emissions; Climate protection needs a decarbonized transport sector. Till 2050 amount of cars could triple to 3 Billion, share of transport of total GHG emissions could rise to 70%. 80% of nationally determined contributions (NDC) list transport as an important field of action, more than 60% identify concrete measures.
