This webinar is organised by the Just Transition Taskforce in celebration of Women's History Month 2026.

Universal mobility policies are essential for a just transition, but when ‘one-size-fits-all’ approaches are designed without a gender lens, they risk serving an abstract average user and missing many real ones, along with their needs.

This webinar explores how some transport measures can unintentionally reproduce transport poverty for women and gender-diverse people if gendered travel patterns, care responsibilities, safety concerns, and time constraints are overlooked.

Drawing on four complementary perspectives, the session examines how gender mainstreaming strengthens, rather than undermines, universal approaches, delivers mobility justice, and ensures that climate action leaves no one behind.

Speakers

About the Just Transition webinar series

This webinar is part of POLIS’ Just Transition webinar series dedicated to transport poverty. The series examines how cities and regions can address mobility injustice through targeted, inclusive local action. 

The series offers a timely platform to explore how local authorities and other urban mobility stakeholders can support fair and sustainable mobility. Building on POLIS’ recent policy paper on the SCF, each session tackles a key theme at the intersection of climate, equity, and mobility, showcasing strategies that drive structural change on the ground.
