Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Climate Minister Michał Kurtyka were expected to open the Global e-Mobility Forum at the city’s National Stadium venue.
Poland’s Kurtyka said earlier this year that representatives from 43 countries had been invited to take part in the event, which was originally scheduled to take place in September.
Kurtyka told reporters in July that Poland wanted to be a global leader in promoting environmentally-friendly electric transport.
He added that low-emission transport meant cleaner air, less noise in cities and a drastic reduction in transportation costs.
International decision makers gathered at a UN climate conference in southern Poland in December last year adopted a Polish-drafted declaration calling on countries worldwide to increase the role of eco-friendly electric transport.
Poland’s prime minister said at the time that his country aimed to pour at least EUR 3 billion into electromobility over the next 10 years.
