The 5th B4E Climate Summit in London will bring together more than 400 global leaders from business, government, media and NGOs to discuss and agree on recommendations for transformation in energy productivity to drive global growth and prosperity. The Summit will present a long-term outlook for energy productivity and explore the emerging technologies, financing and policy changes required to achieve lasting benefits for society and the environment.
The intention of the Michelin Challenge Bibendum is to show that progress really is being made in mobility and the future is bright for transportation that benefits society. There is a gap between what exists today, the challenges faced (in terms of energy, the environment, safety, and widespread access to effective mobility), and the slowness of the decision-making processes around the world.
At the XXVth PIARC World Road Congress, the SLoCaT Partnership (in conjunction with ReCAP ) organized a rural transport strategy session with the goal of defining a clearer global agenda to be undertaken by rural transport stakeholders. Representatives from SLoCaT, ReCAP, KfW, GIZ, the World Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, as well as the African, Asian and Caribbean Development Banks were in attendance .
The Federal Highway Administration will host a webinar on conducting establishment-level surveys of freight movements and on the possible uses of the resulting data in transportation decision-making. This webinar is part of FHWA’s Freight Model Improvement Program (FMIP).
