·¬ÇÑÊÓƵshared the road transport sector¡¯s strategy for a sustainable and resilient mobility future at the International Road Federation¡¯s (IRF¡¯s) World Congress this week.
In a closed-door ministerial meeting at IRF¡¯s 2024 World Congress in Istanbul, °Õ¨¹°ù°ì¾±²â±ð, ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵlaid out the road transport sector¡¯s roadmap to carbon neutrality: the ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵGreen Compact.
·¬ÇÑÊÓƵVice-President Asli ?alik said, ¡°Road transport underpins every United Nations Sustainable Development Goal. Now with the ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵGreen Compact, the road transport community has committed to decarbonise while continuing to efficiently provide its vital services.¡±
The ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵGreen Compact is building a global, pragmatic, collaborative and evidence-based approach to decarbonise road transport.
Green Compact research has shown that the most efficient pathway to carbon neutrality is a dual approach that mobilises efficiency measures right now and implements alternative fuels in the longer term.
¡°It is important to recognise that no single decarbonisation solution fits every country. Governments must create an enabling environment and infrastructure that encourages innovation and adoption. Our sector needs a regulatory environment that targets CO2 emissions, not basic technology choices,¡± said Asli ?alik.
¡°Governments and international stakeholders must work together, with a holistic approach covering all aspects of the challenge, to meet decarbonisation targets,¡± she added.
