Connecting with African Think Tanks for Sustainable Transport

This side-event under the theme “Tracking Change” aimed at promoting dialogue and collaboration with African think tanks working in sustainable transport. The session commenced with an introduction by the Executive Director of Agora Verkehrswende, setting the scene. Following this, four experts (per region in Africa) shared a key insight from their recent work.

Since its first edition in 2017, the Transport and Climate Change Week has established itself as a successful format for dialogue, cooperation and exchange between developing countries and growing economies. From 4 - 8 November 2024, the 7th edition of Transport and Climate Change Week took place in a virtual format.
