[External Opportunities: Online Event] Young Professionals Sustainable Transport Summit 2026

Our Decade, Our Role: Young Professionals Turning Transport Ambition into Action

4 November 2026 | 14:00 CET | Online

The IRF Young Professionals Programme, the SLOCAT-VREF Young Leaders in Sustainable Transport Program, and YOURS - Youth for Road Safety, are joining forces to co-organise the Young Professionals Sustainable Transport Summit 2026.

As the United Nations (UN) Decade of Sustainable Transport 2026–2035 gets underway, the Summit will bring together young and early-career professionals from across regions, disciplines and professional backgrounds to share practical experiences, exchange perspectives and discuss the role they can play in turning sustainable transport ambition into action.

The Summit will explore three interconnected dimensions, closely linked to the focus areas of the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport Implementation Plan:

SAFE & INCLUSIVE

Make Transport Safe and Secure - Focus Area 5

SUSTAINABLE & RESILIENT

Advance Low- or Zero-Carbon, Resilient, and Environmentally Sound Transport Systems - Focus Area 2

SMART & FUTURE-READY Leverage Science, Technology, and Innovation for Sustainable Transport - Focus Area 6

Through young professional spotlights, interactive discussions, intergenerational dialogue and networking, the Summit will explore one central question: What do young professionals want to see change in sustainable transport by 2035, and what role can they play in turning ambition into action?

Join young professionals from around the world. Share your perspective. Connect across sectors and regions. Be part of the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport.
