A Decade That Will Define the Future of Movement
The upcoming United Nations Decade of Sustainable Transport (2026–2035) represents a historic milestone — the first coordinated global initiative aimed at aligning transport systems with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Through Resolution A/78/148, the UN General Assembly recognizes that transport is more than a sector: it is a cross-cutting enabler of inclusive growth, climate resilience, and energy transition.
On 16 October 2025, Energon Green Solutions participated in the UN DESA Stakeholder Briefing on the development of the Implementation Plan for the Decade of Sustainable Transport. The plan will serve as a global, non-binding strategic framework to coordinate actions, mobilize resources, and track progress toward sustainable, equitable, and low-emission mobility worldwide.
Beyond Vehicles: Transport as an Energy Ecosystem
At Energon, we approach transport not only as a system of movement but as a dynamic energy ecosystem.
The energy transition in mobility will not be achieved merely by replacing combustion engines with electric motors, it will emerge through the systemic integration of renewable energy, decentralized microgrids, and intelligent data governance.
Our research and projects across Europe have shown that multi-modal transport nodes, ports, metro hubs, bus depots, and industrial logistics zones, can evolve into localized energy communities.
These nodes can:
- Generate and store renewable power through solar, wind, and waste-to-energy systems;
- Supply clean electricity to fleets and infrastructures via smart grids;
- Balance regional energy demand through vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems and blockchain-based certification of energy origin;
- Engage citizens and local businesses as stakeholders in the energy value chain, not passive consumers.
In this paradigm, mobility electrification and energy democratization become mutually reinforcing forces.
A Call for Systemic Connectivity
As the UN moves toward launching its Implementation Plan in December 2025, the challenge is no longer only technical it is institutional and integrative.
How can transport, energy, and digital policies operate within a coherent framework that values transparency, resilience, and shared ownership?
Energon advocates for three core principles in the Implementation Plan:
- Energy-Integrated Transport Hubs
- Every major transport infrastructure should be designed as an energy-positive node connected to local renewable systems.
- Data Interoperability and Certification
- Smart mobility must rely on verifiable, open data standards that ensure energy traceability and accountability.
- Community-Based Governance
- Citizens, municipalities, and local enterprises must have a legal and financial stake in the new transport–energy ecosystems.
Aligning Practice with Policy
Energon Green Solutions is currently advancing pilot initiatives in energy community formation, blockchain-enabled grid transparency, and EV infrastructure integration across multiple European regions.
Our vision aligns directly with the UN’s call for voluntary commitments under the Decade of Sustainable Transport initiatives that combine technology deployment with social participation and measurable environmental impact.
By embedding our technical expertise into this global policy framework, Energon seeks to contribute actionable modelsthat transform high-level sustainability goals into operational, replicable systems, at the intersection of mobility, energy, and governance.
Powering the Road to 2035
The UN Decade of Sustainable Transport is more than a political declaration, it is a design opportunity for the next generation of sustainable infrastructure.
As the world moves toward 2035, the decisive shift will not come from individual technologies but from the networks that connect them, networks of energy, data, and people.
At Energon Green Solutions, we stand ready to contribute our expertise to this transformation, helping shape transport systems that are decarbonized, decentralized, and democratically governed.
