Role of Digital Libraries and Knowledge Collaboration to Advance Sustainable Mobility Research

The webinar aims to discuss the role of digital libraries and knowledge management in promoting sustainable transportation, and how their benefits can be leveraged for advancing sustainable mobility.

As part of the NDC - Transport Initiative for Asia project being implemented in India by GIZ and other partner organizations in collaboration with NITI Aayog, Government of India, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and GIZ are organising a webinar titled "Role of Digital Libraries and Knowledge Collaboration to Advance Sustainable Mobility Research" on October 28, 2021 from 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM (IST). By bringing together knowledge experts, the webinar aims to discuss the role of digital libraries and knowledge management in promoting sustainable transportation.

In addition, the webinar also intends to address the following issues:

• Leveraging the benefits of digital libraries and knowledge collaboration to advance sustainable mobility
• How these knowledge platforms and centres will help users to take confident decisions

Electric mobility and sustainable transportation is an upcoming field, that can minimize the impact of climate change and air pollution in India. With a massive digital information explosion taking place, knowledge aggregation, open data sharing and data protection are serious issues faced by the stakeholders these days.

Digital library on Green Mobility (DLGM), is an example of a knowledge sharing platform, where various stakeholders are sharing their research outputs for further use. It can catalyze larger level knowledge ecosystem change where agencies, both public and private sectors, come together and share their data and facilitate data exchange. Policy makers, industries, academics and researchers can use this for carrying out further research.
