12th International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER 2017)

From the 11^th to the 13^th of April the EVER Conference 2017 took place in Monaco at the Grimaldi Forum. It is a forum dedicated to ecology and renewable energy that showcases the best of latest sustainable transport and environmentally friendly projects. This is the 12^th edition of the international conference that welcomes individuals and groups reunited under the common goal of creating a more sustainable environment – this year about 40 different stands from companies such as Honda, Renault, Kia Motors and Toyota were open to the public, including an array of outdoor activities on the theme.

The event offered a veritable insight into the renewable technologies that already exist in the area and others that have just been developed, ones that you never knew existed that give you hope for a more sustainable future. The conference was of the upmost pertinence due to the ever-pressing environmental issues that the whole world is facing, raising awareness of the need to develop more durable resources and reduce one’s ecological footprint. It also serves to promote the Principality as an environmentally friendly community that has put in place many projects to minimise urban pollution. In fact, La Poste, the Monaco postal service that was present at the conference, has now introduced electric cars starting from this week!
