Join the Youth Transforming Transportation Initiative
Are you a young changemaker with innovative ideas to transform transportation? The World Bank and the World Resources Institute are hosting the 21st edition of Transforming Transportation, and this year, they are launching our first Youth Transforming Transportation initiative.
What is the Youth Transforming Transportation Initiative?
The initiative has one clear goal: encourage young changemakers from all over the world to take part in the sustainable transport conversation and provide them with a platform to share innovative solutions that will help unlock financing for greener, safer, resilient, and inclusive transport, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
How to Participate:
- Register: Sign up to attend the Transforming Transportation conference either in person in Washington, D.C., or online.
- Attend: Join all plenary sessions of the conference either in person or by streaming them online.
- Share: Draft a blog (maximum 800 words) showcasing your innovative solution to unlock financing for sustainable transportation.
- Submit: During the breakout session titled ‘Creating jobs through youth-led innovations in green mobility’ on March 20, you’ll receive instructions on how to submit your blog. Submissions will be accepted until March 22, 2024.
What They are Looking For:
The initiative wants to hear your fresh ideas that are both innovative and scalable, with the potential for clear and measurable impacts. If your solution has a geographic focus, make sure it covers locations currently working with the World Bank.
What Happens Next:
Two submissions will be selected for publication on the World Bank Blog platform, and a group of participants will be invited to a hybrid session with a senior transport expert at the World Bank to share their solutions and discuss pressing challenges in the transport sector.
