The challenge, sponsored by FedEx, aims to create a more sustainable future by scaling up creative ideas to lessen smog, noise, and traffic in the world’s cities with the greatest population growth. According to the goals of the European Green Deal, Urban Mobility Framework, and EU Cities Mission, this initiative tends to promote the shift to cleaner, greener, and smarter mobility.
