FlickrTime for Results: FIA Foundation events at Brasilia 2015
The FIA Foundation will be hosting and supporting a number of events in Brasilia when ministers, policymakers and road safety campaigners meet at the 2nd Global High Level Conference on Road Safety in two weeks’ time:
Pre-Event: Forum on Child Health & Urban Mobility: 14.00-17.30, Monday 16th November 2015, Royal Tulip Alvorada Hotel
To achieve safe and sustainable mobility for all children under SDG targets 3.6 (Health) and 11.2 (Cities) will require a coalition of governments, cities, donors and civil society organisations. Our Forum, convened at the 2nd Global High Level Conference on Road Safety, will hear from a range of partners committed to making a difference, host new funding and partnering announcements, and provide an opportunity to discuss operational experience and policy perspectives from across the world.
