Welcome to Sustainable Transport & Mobility
The Sustainable Transport & Mobility Conference and Exhibition 2012
Transportation is responsible for approximately 15% of global emissions, and is thesecond largest emitter in South Africa (this excludes SASOL related emissions which arecurrently listed under ‘Energy’).
According to the Deputy Minister of Transport, Jeremy Cronin, the key drivers of transportemissions in South Africa relate to;
1. poor modal mix: (road vs rail; aviation vs maritime; cars vs public transport; minibuses vsmass carriers; motorised transport vs non-motorised transport)
2. a lack of sufficient mitigation incentives, and
3. problematic socio-economic geography: (distance to markets”, and urban sprawl)At Sustainable Transport and Mobility Conference 2012 we feature tow focused modules to address these questions:
Module 1 - Sustainable Mobility
This session focusses on the issues of access to amenities; mitigation opportunities, traffic congestion, publictransport integration, and NMT profiling successes in SA and globally, and sharing wisdom with thought leaders inthis regard.
Module 2 - Sustainable Transport
The transport sector in South Africa runs at a significant cost to road infrastructure, resources and the environment– and given its fundamental role in underpinning the entire economy, directly affects any objective to transform to agreen economy.
This session examines the factors affecting sustainability in the transport sector - sharing the vision of leading researchers and thinkers and ultimately seeking to make practical implementable recommendations.
Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into and engage on these key topics affecting the transport, built environment and local government sectors.
