The Next Big Car Free Event on Earth

9-17 June 2001. Green Transport Week in the UK

BACKGROUND.
The Shell Foundation has established a "Centre for Sustainable Transportation, Energy, and Environment". The Goal of this Centre is acceleration of implementation of policies and technologies that make transportation more environmentally sustainable, improved analysis of present trends as a means towards this goal, and assistance for capacity building of analytical capabilities, principally in developing regions of the World.

A core grant of between USD 750K and USD 1500K for a minimum period of five years has been committed and a Centre leader identified. A good part of these resources will flow to partner cities and projects, primarily in Developing countries.

The 8 June Workshop has been convened to discuss key elements of the proposed activities of the Centre, allowing interested persons and institutions to comment on the thoughts underlying the creation of this Centre and its directions. The Paris Workshop will also build on the results of the previous Washington DC workshop, whose summary will be distributed and made available on the Shell Foundation Web site. After workshops have been held in Washington DC and Paris, a dialogue will be opened up on the Foundation's Website.

Further details available at the ETA Green Transport Week site. The orgnaizers can also be reached at +44 20 8946 0912.
