Scientists stress that human activity is responsible for climate change and drastic and immediate action to eliminate emissions of carbon and other pollutants is of outmost importance to mitigate the impact and even prevent extreme events. Transportation is one of the main emission-generators and directly disrupted by these events’ consequences.
Regions need to be prepared and equipped for the prediction, prevention, management and restoration of climate crisis events in an efficient and holistic way. Sustainable development policies, robust techniques and trustworthy and resilient systems comprise the aim of research and innovation, expected to support safely geared and resilient ecosystems. Collaboration amongst governments, researchers, technology and service providers and society is of outmost importance.

The main theme of the 7th Conference on Sustainable Mobility – CSuM2024,  “Climate Crisis and Transportation Resilient Systems“, aims at the dissemination of knowledge and the exchange of research and good practices among researchers and practitioners towards the adaptation of the transportation systems to climate change.
