Dialogues to be held in Johannesburg, South Africa Bonn, 25 February 2015

The EcoMobility Congress will take a new format and title for its third
edition in Johannesburg.  The EcoMobility Congress will be called the
EcoMobility Dialogues and will be held from the 7 – 9 October 2015,
concurrent with the second EcoMobility World Festival.

The EcoMobility Dialogues will attract thought leaders, experts,
practitioners, academia and city leaders to discuss specific challenges,
obstacles and ways out of the urban mobility crisis cities around the world
face. It will form an integral part of the EcoMobility World Festival – a
unique month long demonstration of an urban car-free lifestyle.

“The EcoMobility Dialogues enable the host city to both promote its
mobility initiatives and receive expert feedback from practitioners and
city leaders working on implementing ground breaking mobility solutions in
various cities”, said Gino Van Begin, Secretary General of ICLEI.

During the Dialogues, attention will be placed on the transport and climate
change debate. Supported by expert groups from the Partnership on
Sustainable Low Carbon Transport (SLoCaT) and the Bridging the Gap (BtG)
initiative, the outcomes of these dialogues will form an input for further
discussions at the 21st United Nations Climate Change Conference of Parties
(COP21) to be held on 30 November to 11 December in Paris, France.

The 2nd EcoMobility Congress, held in Suwon in September 2013, attracted
over 600 participants of whom 145 hailed from developing countries and from
over 50 local governments.
