The International Towards Carfree Cities Conference, Portland will be held June 16-20. Can't make it to Portland to attend? No problem.

We share our Earth with billions of people as well as myriad creatures and ecosystems. Our transportation and urban planning choices directly impact the health of the planet.

WCN Response to EU Green Paper

The World Carfree Network participated in a consultation phase initiated by the European Commission with the publication of a green paper on urban mobility. A response to the green paper was drafted and sent by members of the Network. It was considered important to have a strong and clear carfree voice in a process that can significantly alter the European Union's transportation future. The green paper will evolve in an action plan that will be announced next autumn and will form the backbone of European transportation policy for years to come. The original green paper can be downloaded at the Europa website www.europa.eu, while the WCN response can be downloaded at www.worldcarfree.net/press.
