Description:

Across the world, mobility systems often fail to account for the diverse needs of women and other marginalised groups. Yet, gender is one of the most significant factors influencing how people move, why they travel, and what barriers they encounter.

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.

In this session of Expert Voices, we will have an open conversation with Henrik Gudmundsson (CONCITO) about the practical realities of decarbonising urban logistics in Europe. As cities work to reduce emissions, they face the challenge of making supply chains more sustainable while maintaining efficiency and competitiveness. Together, we will explore the trade-offs between electrification, optimisation and long-term climate goals, and reflect on how urban logistics can evolve in response to these challenges.
