WEBINAR April 21, 2022 · 4:00pm CEST / 10:00am EDT

Partnerships for green change – how can we create more sustainable cities communities?

With Earth Day nearly upon us, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what we are doing for the environment. In line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 11 (Sustainable cities and communities), going green is more important than ever, and we can only achieve this together.

The best way of aligning our shared ambitions is to partner up. Inspired by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 17 (Partnerships for the goals), this webinar will demonstrate how sharing knowledge can lead to a cleaner future for urban communities.

We’ll be joined by the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, the Global Compact Network Netherlands, PTV Group (traffic management and transport optimization software solutions provider) and the Municipality of Amsterdam.

We’ll also look at TomTom’s Traffic Index, which benefits city officials, policymakers and more by giving them open access to our data so they can take informed action to reduce congestion and emissions.

Sign up to this webinar and see how we can leverage our knowledge to achieve SDG 11 and ensure a greener planet for future generations.
