Last October was certainly one of the worst in Spain’s recent history. The damage from the so-called Dana, the weather phenomenon that devastated in particular the Valencia area, causing hundreds of deaths, was calculated at more than 30 billion euros. In short, in the coming months and years, the entire nation, in addition to engaging in the reconstruction of the affected areas, will have to think about what happened, trying not to repeat the mistakes that made the situation even worse.
At the root of it all, and it’s about time we realized this, is climate change: the 2.5-degree rise in the temperature of the Mediterranean Sea has been a major contributor to triggering the phenomenon. Figuring out what to do to curb the problem is not easy, and it also comes at no small cost. Deeply rethinking mobility, however, is one way forward.
The organizers of the Global Mobility Call, the annual event that brings together several professionals (more than 8,000 professionals visited the event, with a 20% increase in online attendance) under the sustainable mobility umbrella at the IFEMA Madrid fairgrounds, are convinced of this. The one we attended this year as media partners (we had been attending also last year) was a wide-ranging event, useful for essaying current trends, technological innovations, and directions that mobility will take in the future.
Over 110 conferences at the Global Mobility Call 2024
Compared to last year, the exhibition part of the event has yes lost a few pieces, but the conference program-more than 110 over the three days of the event, November 19-21, with more than 450 speakers from all over Europe and beyond-has raised the bar even higher.
