4th edition of the mobility forum
As a pillar of the economy, transport accounts for a quarter of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. It is therefore essential to successfully transition this sector towards defossilisation while contributing to the development of the economy, without threatening the freedom of movement that is essential to our society.
Created on the initiative of the Communauté d’Agglomération Pau Béarn Pyrénées, this original annual event enables public and private players to find information and solutions to meet the challenges of deploying low-carbon mobility.
The4th edition of the PAU low-carbon mobility forum will be held on April 28 and 29, 2025, adopting an original format that favors the dissemination of innovative and hard-hitting contributions and reflections on these subjects, which are more topical than ever.
The 4th edition of the PAU low-carbon mobility forum will be held on April 28 and 29, 2025: Place Royale PAVILLON DES ARTS, PAU (France).
Edition 2025
Prior to the publication of the NEW CLEAN EUROPEAN INDUSTRIAL DEAL, and in the difficult context that European industry is currently experiencing,where uncertainties are numerous and trade tensions between major powers are exacerbated, this 4th edition of the PAU low-carbon mobility forum aims to take a clear inventory of the prospects in the field of mobility, and to present proposals to accelerate the trajectories towards carbon neutrality.
Aimed primarily at mobility stakeholders and French and European decision-makers, this forum will alternate between political panels and more technical panels.
