Connect4Climate will participate in FIA Smart Cities to deliver a keynote presentation on Connecting for Climate Action across Smart Cities on Friday, February 2nd, performed by Max Edkins, Acting Manager, Connect4Climate.

FIA launched FIA Smart Cities to encourage the relevant stakeholders to address these pressing concerns and discuss potential solutions to fill the gaps in modern mobility systems. On the path to reaching sustainable development targets, transport authorities seek innovative solutions to meet a growing mobility demand and tackle existing urban mobility issues: pollution, congestion, and road safety hazards are some of the problems cities face in the process of rapid urbanization.

In one hand, sports has a remarkable opportunity to reach broad audiences but also advance technological competition. Athletes can be ambassadors for sustainable behavior, sporting events can be designed to minimize impact, and competition engages diverse companies in promoting technological solutions. Formula E is an excellent example of this in action. On the other hand, cities are hubs for Innovation. New technologies, start-ups and grand designs are shaping our cities. Businesses are critical drivers of innovation and solutions. Here resides an opportunity.
