UEMI workshop 2019
Buenos Aires

Road traffic accidents are now the leading cause of death of people aged 5-29 years. The burden is disproportionately borne by pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, in particular those living in developing countries. With this in mind, the Urban Electric Mobility Initiative (UEMI) that supports cities in the implementation of low-carbon mobility measures aims to provide a space in which European and Latin American cities can exchange their views and experience on how to integrate road safety measures in low-carbon mobility planning. Thus, the workshop that will take place as a side event of the 5th Meeting of the Safer City Streets Network, will focus on the following topics:
​

• Synergies and co-benefits between low-carbon and safety measures
• Project planning with a focus on linkages between safety and sustainability
• Safety aspects of sustainable e-mobility solutions
