Transforming Transportation, co-hosted by the World Bank and the World Resources Institute, has become one of the largest global conferences dedicated specifically to transport and sustainable development. Our main theme this year is “Mobilizing Finance for Climate Action”—an urgent priority across the transport sector, which accounts for a growing share of worldwide emissions and is also particularly vulnerable to disaster risk. But even though the case for climate-smart mobility is clear, transitioning toward greener and more resilient transport will require unprecedented amounts of investment. This presents a formidable challenge, particularly for low- and middle-income countries. Learn more: [ Ссылка ] [ Ссылка ] #sustainabletransport
