LowCVP to host annual conference supported by London’s mayor

The LowCVP is set to hold its annual conference to coincide with the publication of new transport and environment strategies for the capital.

Supported by the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, the event will take place at City Hall, 27 June, and will be followed by a VIP drink reception in ‘London’s Living Room’.

It will focus on how city-level policy needs to adapt to tackle the twin challenges of climate change and air pollution in an era of “mobility revolution”.

Key themes include maximising ‘electric miles’ and how the electric revolution provides the UK with industrial opportunity; changing technologies such as cleaner, low carbon urban vehicles and fuels; and how the LowCVP is helping to accelerate the mobility revolution in cities.

A number of speakers have already been confirmed which include the likes of Andrew Benfield, group director of transport for Energy Saving Trust, LowCVP’s chairman, Darran Messem, and James Thornton, chief executive at Client Earth.

More speakers are also expected to be announced soon.
