1 1 st World Forum on sustainable mobility ( ) Sustainable mobility : understanding and managing the changes towards a post-carbon world International Convention Centre Nantes - France 10/11/12 December info@governance-mobility.org
2 1 st World Forum on sustainable mobility International Convention Centre Nantes - France 10/11/12 December 2007 > Living and moving in a post-petrol world What if cities could save the planet? This is a curious paradox. Yet, the mobilisation of many cities throughout the world proves that solutions exist in the fight against global warming. Reducing the emission of greenhouse gases does bring the question of urban or interurban transportation of people and goods at the heart of the discussion. As a resulting principle, sustainable mobility proves to be a key issue. For the past thirty years, a number of actions have been experienced in all continents such as in Stuttgart, Curitiba and more recently in Bangalore. In France, Nantes is regarded as a pioneer in this field. In the same frame of mind, the city of Nantes and the Pays de la Loire Region are backing the organisation of the 1st World Forum on Sustainable mobility. Expected to become a biennal meeting place, the event will offer cross reflection amongst elected representatives, scientists, experts and NGOs as civil society members. It will also initiate new research programmes towards long-term solutions. For once, the dimension of the project is not purely theoretical and each protagonist will go back with concrete objectives to meet. Then, the various experiences, successful or not, will be put together to help bring out the dynamics of the following forum. The first forum aims at raising a number of questions and exploring new avenues for reflection. For example, how to position mobility as part of sustainable development policies? How responsible will each individual be in this complex issue (citizen, decision-maker, socio-economic actor)? What type of coordination to encourage amongst these actors? As citizens, what constraints are we ready to accept in our daily lives? How is it possible to reconcile the struggle against poverty with protection of environment via sustainable mobility? Which dialogue should be considered between the cities located in the richer countries and those in developing countries? We all know that transportation in a non-carbon economy is not going to happen in one day. To this end, local authorities alongside with citizens are playing and will play a central part. To go beyond the trial stage, they will need sustainable mobility and ideas. They will need to discuss, bring in their competence and adopt a prospective vision that will only be possible if they work together with researchers and scientists. It is the prime objective of the Governance & Mobility forum to assist them in this matter. Anh Hoà Truong, Courrier International To participate and contribute :
3 > Local territories, decisional territories By bringing together local elected representatives, researchers, experts and members of the civil society, the organisers of the World Forum on sustainable mobility are raising the fundamental questions of local governance, regional planning, economic and environmental development, education, research and civil expertise. All these questions show one same concern: how to maintain and ensure the quality of our common heritage without jeopardizing the movements of people and goods? The time has come to take new steps, to launch innovative actions and encourage virtuous behavioural patterns. More than ever before, each and every move made here or elsewhere takes on a world dimension. Sustainable mobility is one element of these remarkable dynamics that we need to support. Our organisation is of course directly concerned by this action and wishes to help bring together its many different partners to create active international cooperation with a view to being part of tomorrow s sustainable territories. In this effervescent atmosphere, intelligence together with local and global experiences will father new avenues and solutions. I would like to invite you, in your own field of activity and with your competence, to take part in this confrontation of ideas and in the cross reflection amongst representatives from all five continents, in order to draw a broad outline of sustainable mobility which is at the heart of our development strategies in our territories. Jacques Auxiette, President Pays de la Loire Regional Council At this time of greater worldwide awareness on climate change, urban mobility takes on a new dimension with questions that need to be answered. Aware of the central role they must play, local authorities are getting more and more involved in the search for innovative solutions that are to be found through the exchange of various experiences and experimental actions being led in different urban areas. Nantes has always been a crossroads for research and innovation in the field of transport. We have always been receptive to new ideas and responses brought at a European and international level, such as the tramway, the BusWay, river shuttles, intermodality, carsharing, mobility schemes. These are many innovations that have permitted the City of Nantes to reconcile development with quality of life. In the field of mobility, things are not easily decided and decision-makers have to take into account the population s mobility habits and accompany people in their evolution. Paradoxically, whereas digital society has made information transmission so easy, people s mobility needs continue to increase. This is the reason why we salute the World Forum on sustainable mobility whose aim is to bring together mobility players from all over the world. Whether from the North or the South, rich or not so rich, they all face the same challenge: how to manage mobility in international large cities? I would like to invite you to take part in the 1 st World Forum on sustainable mobility. May we, from our collective reflection, bring in new solutions to this permanent challenge that is sustainable mobility. Jean-Marc Ayrault, Member of Parliament and Mayor of Nantes, President, Nantes City Council
4 1 st World Forum on sustainable mobility International Convention Centre Nantes - France 10/11/12 December 2007 > From the need of international cooperation between local authorities and researchers Debates between researchers, elected representatives and citizens The Forum aims at providing a unique platform to carry out worldwide discussions amongst those who have a deep knowledge of the risks and problems of mobility, in the hope of meeting the challenges of sustainable development. The Forum will be an opportunity for dialogues between local authorities in charge of mobility policies with experts and researchers specialised in the questions about mobility. This exchange of information and experiences, the building of necessary mutual working relations will hopefully lead to the emergence of the right solutions to local problems. The Forum will aim at formulating collective strategies and will act as an observatory. On this basis and from the work performed outside the scope of the Forum, the question will be reviewed every two years. > To the objectives of the forum How to position mobility as part of the sustainable development policies adopted by cities and territories with a view to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. Identify the conditions of success to contribute to the objectives of sustainable mobility What level of decision? What type of financing? What is the appropriate questioning related, amongst others, to the objectives of cooperation and international exchanges and to the disruption of the carbon economy? Measure the effects and opportunities of sustainable mobility policies How to draw conclusions from the current practices? Which research programmes should be initiated? What type of new cooperation to encourage? Which financing tools should be used? What type of governance? Raise the issue of coordination amongst authorities The position of local authorities in the definition and the implementation of mobility policies, the tools necessary for national and international coordination, the position of social influential organisations and of citizens. Measure the impact of sustainable mobility policies on the environment, individual and social behaviour and economy. To participate and contribute :

6 1 st World Forum on sustainable mobility International Convention Centre Nantes - France 10/11/12 December 2007 > Contributions, terms of participation Governance & mobility aims at : Identifying innovative issues, facilitating fruitful discussions and building long-term exchanges that will permit transcontinental cooperation projects combining research and territory. To do so and in conclusion to the work of the Scientific Committee, the forum has addressed two calls towards the following actors: elected representatives or technicians working for a local or regional authority and in charge of transport and mobility policies, climate plan, Agenda 21, environment, urban and regional planning, scientists or researchers in a public or private organisation, research & development departments of private companies, people in charge of a research programme with possible applications in the field of mobility, members of a non governmental organisation specialised in environment, social issues, mobility and transport, > A call for contributions showing the various actions put in place locally and the past or current research programmes along the following themes: 1 > Position, instruments and impact of sustainable mobility policies The energy crisis, the drastic climate changes and the unfavourable development of territories are driving decisionmakers to think of new mobility policies that take sustainable development into account and that consider mobility in its different aspects and as part of other local policies. 2 > Mobility and governance The very challenging implementation of sustainable mobility that decision-makers, citizens, social and economic actors together with transport companies are facing requires radical changes in the very short term and on a very large scale. Converting the new approaches on mobility into reality relies on means and on the agreement from both population and business to meet the objectives of sustainable mobility. 3 > Sustainable mobility and controversial issues What are the issues that split today s actors on the question of sustainable mobility? As part of the Forum, we wish to open an area devoted to public discussion on those controversial issues, in order to broaden our collective understanding of these issues Reply or contact : contributions-projects@governance-mobility.org > Agenda - Forum 2007 Sunday 9 decembre > Welcome and registration / Opening ceremony Monday10 decembre > Keynote Opening Address > 1 thematic Plenary Session > 8 Workshops > Mobility coffee Tuesday 11 decembre > 2 thematic Plenary Sessions > 8 Workshops > Mobility coffee > Mobility official dinner Wednesday12 decembre > 1 thematic Plenary Session > Keynote Closing Address > Mobility coffee > Technical visits To participate and contribute :
7 > A call for research projects expressing your needs and your proposals for research projects around the following five themes : 1 > What are the possible scenarios for sustainable territories in 2030? How to go towards more accessible territories that consume less energy, emit less greenhouse gases, present a higher potential for acceptable growth, with new concepts of mobility for people and goods? 2 > What type of governance to generate new behavioural patterns in mobility of people and goods in order to face challenges : how to act, with whom, with what results? The challenges that decision-makers, citizens, social and economic actors together with transport professionals are facing will require radical changes in a very short time and on a very large scale. If everyone s behaviour is to change, the political leadership is the one that has to put these necessary changes into action, in the group s interests and in respect of individuals. 3 > Harmonised time periods for decision and for action Trying to reconcile the time periods of citizens (short timing), politicians (mandate), researchers (programme) and economic actors (product or service cycle). 4 > The coherence of actions in the territories for local and global sustainable mobility Political responsibility is exercised first at the level of a territory and its population. Sustainable mobility questions the political choices in regional planning. Political decision-makers need to set priorities to share space, to locate activities, to define the type and the level of energy dependence, to apply technologies and to set out programmes of sustainable development. Their choice of governance affects the population and the actors in the territory. 5 > Sustainable mobility for all and for a sustainable development Sustainable mobility is also equitable. It aims at reinforcing social integration as well as equity amongst people, notably by taking into consideration the cost of localisation and land availability, with a view to offering the best conditions for human and economic development and to keeping the economic actors within the territory. Reply or contact : contributions-projects@governance-mobility.org > Forum - For whom? The scientific world: scientists, researchers in fundamental sciences or in human and social sciences, working in a public or private organisation, research & development departments of private companies, people in charge of research programmes with possible applications in the field of mobility.
