addition to the message « The accessibility we need » that CODATU and its network forwarded to the Secretariat of the UN conference Habitat III that will take place in Quito (Ecuador) from 16 to 20 October, CODATU will attend the conference to present MobiliseYourCity. This initiative that supports transition of developing cities and countries towards a low-carbon urban mobility, particularly fits the New Urban Agenda (develop liveable and sustainable cities for all within a participatory process, establish a framework at the national level, develop capacity building activities for local and national stakeholders).

During this 4-day conference, CODATU will showcase the initiative together with its partners (ADEME, AFD, CEREMA, GIZ) to present latest improvements of the initiative (structuring of the governance, fund raising campaign, methodology, first workshops “Mobilise Days” in Cameroon and Morocco), and present the next steps: official announcement of first cities and countries joining during COP22 climate conference in Marrakesh, as well as implementation of the initiative in the countries in early 2017. These presentations will also be the opportunity to give the floor to local stakeholders in charge of mobility from various countries.
