Global Forum on Electric Mobility
At present, public interest in electric mobility is growing tremendously. As battery and vehicle technologies continuously advance, EV manufacturers now offer hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery powered vehicles. Some countries and cities actively promote the emerging electric mobility industry by providing financial or other incentives. Many recent model and pilot projects have clearly demonstrated the economic viability and the social and environmental benefits of EVs, in particular in areas, where electricity supply for battery charging is based on renewable sources of energy, energy efficiency and smart grids.
Senior UN officials, government officials (including those from the host country Brazil), international celebrated city mayors, specialists and scholars, major electric vehicle enterprise principals attended the meeting. They made keynote speeches at the forum and communicated extensively with various stakeholders.
The holding of Global Forum on Electric Mobility provided strategic opportunities for the publicity of electric vehicle technology. A series of foresight consensuses and campaign proposals were reached in the forum, which made positive contributions to enrich and perfect the final results of Rio+20.

The Conference on Sustainable Human Settlements
The conference emphasized on the discussion of the challenges and opportunities faced by green mobility and sustainable human settlements for the purpose of supporting low-carbon city building in a better manner and achieving the future we want.

Mr. Sha point out, the issue of sustainable human settlements is vital, as it is affected by the ten challenges that Rio+20 addresses, let me raise three brief points related to sustainable cities. First, the impacts of sustainable cities go beyond cities. Sustainable urbanization will help fight air pollution, save water, reduce emissions, and combat climate change. Just by focusing on greening two sectors - buildings and transport - we can make substantive progress in reducing emissions and addressing climate change. Second, sustainable cities can become a cornerstone of a green economy, leading to job creation and improved livelihoods. Finally, sustainable cities should be designed with social equities and the eradication of poverty in mind. We must strengthening global efforts to build sustainable human settlements.
