Transportbranschen samlas på Lindholmen

Årets tema är Trender och utmaningar för effektivare transporter. Klimatfrågan är den tyngsta trenden inför 2030. Det säger Professor Alan C. McKinnon, inför sin medverkan på Transporteffektivitetsdagen.

"I predict that by 2030 climate change will have become a major driver of change in the freight transport sector – from different directions. On the mitigation side, carriers and shippers will have to operate within tight carbon quotas and / or be subject to a strict emissions trading regime. On the adaptation side, climate will have significantly altered by 2030, particularly in the frequency, intensity and duration of extreme weather events, forcing changes to the design of logistics systems and the way they are operated. Freight transport will also be sensitive to the wider economic and geopolitical disturbances that will accompany climate change and the radical measures that governments will have to introduce to cope with it."

Rubriken för hans anförande är ”Forecast and speculations for 2030”
