How resilient is our transport system?
|
The Corona pandemic came first, followed by the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. How do these multiple crises impact the mobility and transport sector? Will they slow down necessary transition processes to mitigate and adapt to climate change? The Scandria®Alliance and the CPMR Baltic Sea Commission Transport Working Group will discuss these questions during their joint conference “Adapting to a changing geopolitical landscape: the future of transport in the Baltic Sea Region and wider Europe” in Helsinki, Finland on 6 and 7 November 2023.

Member cities and regions of both organisation will discuss with Pat Cox, European Coordinator of the Scandinavian Mediteranean European Corridor, representatives from national governments and the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region. Elina Rantanen, Deputy Mayor of the city of Turku, will be one of the panellists at this conference. Scandria®Alliance talked to her beforehand. Read the interview and watch her video message in this newsletter!
