What are the challenges and opportunities in sustainable mobility?

“The urgency of shifting to sustainable mobility has not gone away. For example, we can see that the floods in Slovenia cost 10% of GDP just for the cleanup, and we’re seeing staggering figures elsewhere.” [00:08] “At the same time, now that we have climate targets in Europe, people are asking: ‘How will I be able to get around? Will I be able to afford it? Will there still be jobs for those who provide these mobility services?’ We really need to take both of these concerns into account.” [00:20] “We have completed the first half of the European Green Deal by setting the targets, but the second half will be just as important: we must work to ensure that mobility is accessible in a fair and affordable way.” [00:36] “We need stable policies to stimulate demand for clean mobility, for example social leasing for electric cars. As for public transport, the transition to zero‑emission buses must be done in a way that cities can actually afford.” [00:47] “Multimodal transport will remain essential, with seamless integration between public transport, cycling, and everything that enters the city. This sector will truly be at the heart of all this.” [01:17]
