About the webinar

This webinar aims to share the development and progress of the Zero and Low Emission Mobility Public Policy in the city of Bogota, Colombia. As a consequence of the increased use of motorized vehicles in Bogota, there are high concentrations of particulate matter and greenhouse gas emissions, generating deterioration of air quality and increased risks for respiratory diseases. It also reinforces the path contrary to Colombia's commitment to comply with the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Achieving a public policy requires specific strategies and actions that are articulated and designed jointly by the co-responsible entities and that are aligned with the mobility strategies of zero and low emission technologies proposed at the global and national level. This webinar presents the District Mobility Secretary, who leads the development of this public policy, the actions implemented in public transportation through Transmilenio's exhibition, and, finally, how these two articulate their actions with the energy sector, through a presentation of ENEL CODENSA. The webinar will be in Spanish. For further information please click here.
