This award in combination with the change of mentality of residents provide us a strong incentive to keep working hard on sustainable development issues; we are aiming towards a balanced tourism development, respecting today\u2019s environmental obligations. This is a one-way option for everyone.&#8221;<\/em>As 2022 is the European Year of Youth, Urban Mobility Days put the spotlight on young voices and views, to involve Europe\u2019s young people on the path towards climate resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Andr\u00e1s V\u00e1g\u00e1ny, winner of the CIVITAS Young Champion Award, has since graduating in 2019 been involved through his work at the Centre of Budapest Transport (BKK) in various EU funded research and development projects, and is an active member of the Hungarian CIVINET. Strengthening the connection between the cities is important Andr\u00e1s explains in developing Budapest as one of the most sustainable, innovative and liveable cities in Europe:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Winning the award is a great achievement for me, because this positive feedback proves that Budapest is going on the right path in the topic of the sustainable mobility development. In the past few years, some important innovative sustainable mobility projects were implemented in Budapest, but we still have a lot more to do. I would like to broaden my technical knowledge with social and economic studies, because I believe these are integral to urban planning processes.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While presenting the awards, Herald Ruijters, Director, Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport, European Commission made note of the exceptional calibre of work featured among this year\u2019s award winners and applicants:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The path towards climate neutrality requires a complete transformation in all aspects of how cities work, including mobility. Cities are innovation hubs, and it\u2019s where we need to start if we want to achieve our goal of 100 climate-neutral cities by 2030. Ensuring that young people are front and centre in making this change is key to addressing the future challenges of urban mobility.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jointly organised by the European Commission, Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE), and the Czech Presidency of the Council of the EU, the Urban Mobility Days provided the perfect platform for recognising their work in the field of sustainable urban mobility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cities of Rethymno (Greece), Coimbra (Portugal) and the Municipality of Ioannina (Greece) were recognised as winner and runners-up respectively of the CIVITAS Transformation Award The cities of Rethymno (Greece), Coimbra (Portugal) and the Municipality of Ioannina (Greece) were recognised as winner and runners-up respectively of the CIVITAS Transformation Award, at the CIVITAS Awards ceremony\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13234,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_scj_primary_category_id":10,"_scj_featured":false,"_scj_featured_from":"","_scj_featured_until":"","_scj_featured_order":0,"_scj_visibility_class":"current","_scj_layout_family":"standard","_scj_article_style":"","_scj_display_overrides":[],"_scj_intro_image_id":13234,"_scj_intro_alt":"Championing climate-neutrality at Europe's leading urban mobility conferences","_scj_intro_caption":"","_scj_intro_class":"","_scj_intro_float":"","_scj_full_image_id":13234,"_scj_full_alt":"Championing climate-neutrality at Europe's leading urban mobility conferences","_scj_full_caption":"","_scj_full_class":"","_scj_full_float":"","_scj_media_type":"","_scj_media_provider":"","_scj_media_external_id":"","_scj_media_url":"","_scj_media_poster_id":0,"_scj_media_width":0,"_scj_media_height":0,"_scj_media_aspect_ratio":"","_scj_media_description":"","_scj_gallery_items":[],"_scj_related_post_ids":[],"_scj_additional_authors":[],"scj_layout_family":"standard","scj_media_provider":"","scj_media_url":"","scj_full_caption":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cities"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Championing climate-neutrality at Europe&#039;s leading urban mobility conferences - thesmartcityjournal.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The cities of Rethymno (Greece), Coimbra (Portugal) and the Municipality of Ioannina (Greece) were recognised as winner and runners-up respectively of the CIVITAS Transformation Award, at the CIVITAS Awards ceremony that took place yesterday as part of the European Urban Mobility Days.
