EIT Urban Mobility will participate in the next The Interreg for a Greener Europe webinar edition, providing a platform for the Interreg community to exchange insights on Policy Objective 2 (PO2) topics.
This episode will focus on sustainable urban mobility. More than 70% of EU citizens live in urban areas, which generate 23% of transport greenhouse gas emissions. Transforming mobility is therefore central to climate neutrality and quality of life. It calls for accessible public transport, walking and cycling, cleaner and shared mobility, efficient urban logistics, and seamless first- and last-mile connections.
Yet cities face persistent challenges: car dependence, congestion, emissions, air and noise pollution, road safety risks, and unequal access to affordable mobility. Fragmented governance, limited capacity and financing, and coordination across boundaries can slow implementation. The revised TEN-T framework, requiring 431 urban nodes to adopt Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans by the end of 2027, creates fresh momentum to turn integrated planning into action.
Interreg helps territories act together, test solutions and transfer approaches across borders. This webinar will showcase practical responses and discuss how to scale, embed and sustain them.
Jorgina Cuixart, Head of Innovation Programmes at EIT Urban Mobility, will join the webinar as a speaker, sharing EIT Urban Mobility’s perspective and experience on advancing sustainable urban mobility.
