Transport Sector and Climate Change - Online Debate launched by the International Transport Forum |
|
The International Transport
Forum has launched its second online debate on “The Transport Sector and
Climate Change” in preparation for its upcoming Forum, to be held in
Leipzig on 28-30 May.
“The transport sector is
responsible for a significant and growing share of greenhouse gas
emissions and most indications are that transport activity and emissions
will double or more in the next 30 years”, said Jack Short, Secretary
General of the International Transport Forum in Paris on Monday, at the
launch of their second online debate. “On the other hand”, explained
Short “political objectives have set global emission reductions of the
order of 50% by the middle of the century. The stark conclusion is that
we do not have the policies in place or planned that can stabilise, let
alone reduce transport emissions.”
