200 transport experts from 20 countries, highlighted the importance and need to change transport to limit global warming. The second Transport and Climate Change Week fostered knowledge exchange and high-level contacts between transport and environment ministries, transport institutions or city officials mainly from delevoping and emerging countries. All agreed: Transport is key to limit global warming! To change transport towards climate-friendly solutions and raising the ambition level to do so, the 200 transport colleagues met in Berlin, to discuss ways on how to achieve a paradigm shift in transport around the world and to take global action. This year’s focus topics were digital mobility, new business models and innovative planning.
The current situation is both a challenge and an opportunity!
