Karen Vancluysen on policies, politics and populism
Karen Vancluysen has an infectious passion for sustainable transport and urban mobility. As Secretary General of POLIS, she runs a network of over 100 European cities and regions, all innovating to accelerate the transition to more sustainable mobility.
In today’s episode, we chat about the places that are leading the charge, and the challenges of the growth of populism. She gives advice to political leaders aspiring to make change happen and is inspirational on what has been done - and what more needs to happen.
We end with her recommended mobility ‘grand tour’ of Europe, to see what’s already been achieved on the ground.
It’s a great start to Season 3!
