Expert Voices - Investing in sustainable urban mobility: The role of the private sector
In this session of Expert Voices, we will have an open conversation with Anta Dieng (Meridiam) about the role and responsibility of the private sector in advancing sustainable urban mobility, particularly in rapidly growing cities. Drawing on her experience, we will explore how private investment can create meaningful impact while balancing commercial interests with environmental and social objectives. From innovative financing to building effective public-private partnerships, we will discuss what it takes to move urban transport towards a more inclusive, low-carbon future and what role private actors play in that journey.
Join us for 30 minutes of insight, inspiration, and practical ideas from someone working at the forefront of sustainable investment in urban mobility.
