PWA Conference – “Sustainable Electric Mobility”

Hotel Savoy
Via Ludovisi, 15, 00187 Roma RM
Wednesday, October 18th, 2023 at 6.30 PM

PWA presents a series of initiatives during the year on topics supporting and educating women professionally. PWA provides a “friendly forum” for professionals, especially for women who want to expand their world for personal and professional growth.

For the month of October the conference topic will be: “Sustainable Electric Mobility” Can they co-exist?

Mobility is a central factor in the effort to fight climate change: it contributes to almost a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions. And its share is still rising. With the increasing number of electric cars, hybrids, e-bikes and other electric means of transportation many are concerned about how this will impact the climate and environment. Europe leads not only in green and green-digital innovation but also in innovation overall. By the year 2030, the EU will become second in demand for batteries worldwide yet increasing the number of new batteries doesn’t seem a sustainable option.

By avoiding unnecessary motorized travel, shifting to more environmentally sound mobility modes, and improving the overall efficiency of the transport system, we can all do our part but is it enough?
