Overview

Africa, a diverse continent with varied landscapes, cultures, and economies, is at a critical point in its development. Urbanisation and population growth bring challenges in transportation, mainly reliant on fossil fuels, leading to environmental issues.

Sustainable mobility options like active and electric mobility emerges as a transformative solution, offering environmental sustainability, reduced carbon emissions, economic opportunities, equitable livings, and job creation.
However, challenges like limited research, insufficient policy frameworks, and lack of local expertise hinder widespread sustainable mobility adoption. Various African countries are exploring sustainable mobility solutions with pilot projects, but a cohesive, continent-wide approach is lacking.

An African Mobility Research Institute is proposed to bridge gaps, foster collaboration, and leverage shared expertise. The institute aligns with global initiatives, creating synergies for sustainable mobility.
