NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

For millions of people around the world, transportation is a lifeline – to jobs, education and opportunity. But the way people and goods move is also a significant contributor to climate change. As the world reaches for solutions, many are looking to the transport sector for answers that ensure a more livable planet. Financing is a core theme of Transforming Transportation 2024, which will bring together global leaders and transport professionals to explore how all stakeholders can mobilize resources for greener, safer, resilient transport for all, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

During the two-day event, and week-long side activities, transport and financial leaders and professionals will take a deep dive into the urgent need for climate financing in transportation; the correlation between investments, economic growth, and climate targets; and the role that organizations of all kinds, from development banks to community groups, can play in driving transformative change.
