About

The logic behind Transport and Climate Change Week is very simple: we bring together experts and decision-makers from all around the world to facilitate knowledge sharing and networking through peer-to-peer exchanges and specialised workshops. Not only do we build capacity, but we also build meaningful relationships that are the foundation of development cooperation. In this way, we seek to build confidence in the feasibility of changing transport towards net zero emissions. Since its first edition in 2017, the Transport and Climate Change Week has established itself as a successful format for dialogue, cooperation and exchange between developing countries and growing economies.

From 22-26 September 2025, the 8th edition of Transport and Climate Change Week will take place in Berlin. A decade has passed since the signing of the Paris Agreement. In order to evaluate how our work has impacted the transition to net-zero transport as well as identify promising steps moving forward, we propose reflecting on the following question in 2025:

What progress have we made in tackling climate change in the transport sector and what strategies have been adopted to accelerate change?

Our specific aims for the 2025 Transport and Climate Change Week are as follows:

• Understanding & mapping the system: We will provide training sessions based on systemsthinking and agile change in the transport sector. By shedding light on systemic impacts we
  will enable a deeper understanding of how transformation works and the importance of
  underlying ecosystems.
• Spotlighting proven transformation strategies: We will share evidence-based methodologies
  for taking stock of progress achieved. A broad-based understanding of policy impacts in
  partner countries will enhance accountability.
• Visualising our goals: We will use methodology to re-iterate our goals, re-energize our
  dedication, and to develop multisectoral strategies for speeding up transformation.
• Enhancing accountability: This year we will focus on evaluating what has happened since the
  adoption of the Paris Agreement. This by a collective evaluation of progress being made in
  the sector. This will strengthen our capacity to speed the race for transforming transport.

 

In 2025, the 8th edition of the Transport and Climate Change Week will take place in Berlin from 22-26 September 2025 as an invitation-only event.
