Overview

The Conference of Parties (COP) is the major event discussing decarbonisation of industries towards net zero in 2050. During COP28 there were a few major announcements in relation to transportation. There was a call to action to double the share of energy efficient and fossil-free forms of land transport by 2030. There was also a move to increase the use of nature-based solutions in infrastructure design. 

On the side-lines of COP28 there were key discussions in relation to improving the climate resilience of infrastructure, as part of adaptation to climate change. There were further discussions on sustainable fuels in aviation and shipping and how these can be incorporated into current infrastructure.

Hydrogen was advanced at many meetings as a potential solution, and other green technologies were highlighted as developing. This continuing the theme that new technologies may be 
developed which will support the sector to meet its net zero targets.

During this CIHT seminar, our expert panel will unpack the key elements from COP28 and their implications for the transport sector.
