This working group aims to reinforce members’ understanding of evolving challenges, especially the accelerated conversations in the light of the COVID-19 crisis.
Instead of adopting radical and/or ‘(Western) Eurocentric’ positions, On the Move’s network tries as much as possible to provide nuanced approaches bearing in mind the complexity of some existing problems/solutions and the intersectionality of challenges at a global level.
This working group builds on the learnings of On the Move’s network, which has been dealing with the issue of mobility and environmental sustainability since 2010 (see the resources below). This group will also pave the way towards the implementation of the SHIFT eco-guidelines for networks through a first certification process starting in 2023 and involving more than 10 networks and platforms, including On the Move.
The group met three times in 2023: during a session in March with a representative from Transport and Environment, in May at the Cultural Mobility Forum in Tunis whose focus was on environmental sustainability and cultural mobility, and during a final presentation session of OTM sustainability policy and related documents in October 2023.
Members are mentioned in an indicative way. More On the Move’s members are free to join the sessions.
