The Sustainable Urban Mobility Platform in Latin America MobiliseYourCity/EUROCLIMA+ emerges as a reliable and updated space to promote the conversation, creation and exchange of information on the current state of sustainable and low-emission urban mobility in the Latin American region.

It aims to bring to a common space stakeholders from the political and technical sector, specialists, authorities and decision makers related to sustainable urban mobility and interested in promoting the climate agenda in the region. To this end, the Community of Practice aims to serve as a unique window in the region that facilitates and brings together information, data, tools, methodologies and publications, case studies and best practices that enable both national and local governments to empower, plan and implement strategies for better urban mobility in their territories.
