Welcome Message
We are political committed towards an integrated and decarbonized mobility, a green mobility, which is intended to be safe, intelligent, connected and sustainable and which leaves no one behind. And walking is an integral part of this value chain.
It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome this 24th edition of Walk21, a conference that brings together experts from all over the world to explore the role of pedestrian mobility in the global challenge of decarbonization, in the dynamics of cities and, above all, in people's health and quality of life.
For four days, Lisbon will be the center of debate, reflection and the promotion of actions that put pedestrians at the heart of transformation.
It is therefore with great pleasure that I invite you to attend the conference and follow this journey with us, so that, together, we can chart a future where walking is a safe and sustainable choice, where everybody walks.

Secretary of State for Mobility
