iRAP will be in action at the ITF Summit next month where our key focusses will be on supporting member countries to eliminate high-risk roads, empowering transport safety insights through shared data, and financing equitable, green and safe road infrastructure world-wide and in Europe.
Le Sommet annuel 2022 du Forum international des transports (ITF), will take place in Leipzig, Germany, from 24 to 26 May, under the Presidency of the United Kingdom.
L'ITF joue un rôle de groupe de réflexion international sur les politiques de transport et organise chaque année un sommet sur invitation uniquement, destiné aux ministres des Transports. Ce sommet réunit les ministres des 63 pays membres de l'ITF et des pays invités, ainsi que plus de 1 400 chefs d'entreprise, chercheurs de haut niveau, représentants de la société civile et autorités locales et régionales, afin de débattre des tendances et des défis qui façonnent les transports et la mobilité dans le monde.
Le thème de cette année Transport Enabling Sustainable Economies will bring participants together to share perspectives on the role of transport as an enabler of economic growth that also drives environmental and social sustainability. The programme se concentrera sur cinq thèmes clés :
- Promoting inclusive access and tackling poverty;
- Fostering transport for economic growth and stability;
- Boosting economies through greening transport; and
- Building safe, healthy and resilient transport systems.
