Green and Low-Carbon Transportation Technologies Course

Introduction

This course offers a deep dive into sustainable and low-carbon transportation technologies aimed at reducing emissions, improving energy efficiency, and supporting climate action. Participants will explore a variety of green mobility solutions including electric vehicles (EVs), hydrogen-powered transport, biofuels, and multimodal smart mobility systems.

With growing global focus on decarbonizing transport, the course also examines policy frameworks, infrastructure needs, financing mechanisms, and the integration of green technologies into urban and national transport strategies. Real-world case studies and emerging innovations will guide participants in developing actionable plans for sustainable transport transformation.

Target Participants:

• Urban and transport planners
• Environmental engineers and sustainability experts
• Policymakers and regulators
• Municipal and infrastructure authorities
• Energy and mobility sector professionals
• Public transport operators and fleet managers
• Development partners and NGOs
• Researchers, consultants, and academics in transport and sustainability

Duration

5 Days
