日内瓦/布拉加，8月11日 -在葡萄牙城市布拉加, the transition to more sustainable mobility is at the heart of the newly launched 布拉加企业流动契约, developed by WBCSD’s 全球网络 partner, the Business Council for Sustainable 发展 in 葡萄牙 (BCSD葡萄牙)和布拉加市议会.
Inspired by WBCSD’s and BCSD 葡萄牙’s previous initiative in 里斯本, the new 流动性 Pact encourages practical action and stimulates an open dialogue between the local business community and public authorities. A third 流动性 Pact is also being developed by WBCSD and the City of 格拉斯哥 在英国.
The signature of the Pact is the culmination of a journey that started with a simple observation following the city’s first-ever Sustainability Report in 2019: 65% of Braga’s total emissions originated from urban mobility.
The 布拉加企业流动契约 brings together the private sector, local public institutions and the municipality around a set of actions that will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increase access to mobility solutions that improve air quality and well-being and promote healthier habits.
Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa was present at the 正式签字仪式 2022年6月9日, which representatives of the local government attended, as well as 35 signatory companies operating in the city. Each company has pledged its commitment to at least 2 of the 29 actions for sustainable and 包容 mobility that the Pact outlines. 这类行动的一些例子包括:
- Intensifying the promotion of electric vehicles in operational fleets;
- Constructing additional charging stations in parking lots;
- Applying efficient route management strategies to create optimal use of electric vehicles;
- Providing and promoting information on multimodal transport and soft mobility on corporate websites and in communications with customers, 供应商及参观者.
João Meneses, Secretary General of BCSD 葡萄牙, who was present at the launch event, said: “We have entered the last decade for action. Braga’s Corporate 流动性 Pact is an example of leadership and acceleration for multimodal urban mobility, 大多是共享的或集体的, 包容, 适应力强、, 最重要的是, sustainable within the business sector of Braga.”
Hélder Costa, Executive Secretary for Sustainable 发展 at the Municipality of Braga, added: “Despite the technological advance toward cleaner energy, the transformation to a carbon-neutral city will only happen with the collaboration of all, 公司将在哪些方面发挥相关作用. The Corporate 流动性 Pact for the city of Braga is an opportunity for all organizations that want to be more sustainable and support the decarbonization of the city.”
Uta Jungermann, Senior Manager, Member Support & WBCSD全球网络, 他说:“在里斯本取得初步成功之后, we are thrilled to see our 全球网络 partner BCSD 葡萄牙 establish a new Corporate 流动性 Pact in Braga. We hope that the Pact’s ambitious business actions and commitments will inspire other cities to follow this path toward clean, 为所有人提供安全、高效的交通, 在葡萄牙和世界各地.”
