The transport sector is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in most countries, representing 23% (worldwide) and 30% (OECD) of CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion in 2005. Because of this, it is likely that most countries will have to include the transport sector in achieving future greenhouse gas emissions reductions. A defining milestone in these discussions, the International Transport Forum 2008, gathered more than 800 policy makers, industry stakeholders and researchers in Leipzig for a cycle of roundtables on cost-effective technology and policy instruments required to improve energy efficiency and curb carbon emissions across transport modes. This publication condenses the main findings of these roundtables and provides insight into the research carried out by the Forum in such areas as biofuels, ecodriving, the impact of high energy prices and the effectiveness of fuel efficiency policies.

The International Transport Forum 2009 on the “Challenges and Opportunities in the Downturn” took place at a very difficult time, with finances drying up, companies failing, supply chains weakened, and protectionism on the increase.

There are real fears that the transport sector will be seriously damaged by this sudden and profound downturn, with important implications for economies and societies. One certainty is that transport is more important than it has ever been – in business, in the lives of citizens and in the world economy.

The transport sector is at the heart of globalisation. At the same time it is clear that the crisis does not alter fundamental challenges, particularly for transport to be more sustainable and show more concrete results in the lead up to and after the December 2009 UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.

This publication condenses the main findings of workshops and round tables bringing together leading figure from politics, industry, research and civil society on key questions linking transport, economic recovery, global trade flows and sustainable development.

The International Transport Forum 2010, entitled “Transport and Innovation: Unleashing the Potential”, took a close look at the role of innovation in shaping transport systems of the future. It highlighted the crucial importance of innovation in the transport sector for our common future in a globalised world.

Through continual innovation, the mobility sector has met the increasing volume demands of a transport-intensive globalised economy while achieving better quality of service. But the sector and those who rely on it face extraordinary challenges. Transport needs to be versatile to respond to the evolving economic and societal context. Demographic changes, notably ageing and fast growth in emerging economies, are shaping future demand for mobility solutions.

The structure of global economic development is changing rapidly, and this is having a major impact on transport needs. The environmental impact must be reduced. Congestion needs to be managed better. And safety cannot be compromised.

These challenges are often global in scope, and the responses must be as well. Close collaboration across borders and among all stakeholders is required. The International Transport Forum 2010 provided the platform to take this global dialogue forward.

This publication condenses the main findings of expert panels and round tables bringing together leading figures from politics, industry, research and civil society.

Transport is intrinsic to societal activity, and one of its greatest enablers. It allows people to reach their workplaces; provides individuals with access to education and services; and is increasingly important for leisure. It drives trade and creates jobs. 

A world without the very real daily benefits of mobility has become unimaginable. But all too often transport is taken for granted, and societal demands on transport are constantly increasing. Transport systems must be adapted to better serve us all, but these systems are complex, and not easy to change. Opportunities for more open, effective dialogue on the development of transport systems should be pursued in order to facilitate a better understanding throughout society of transport issues. 

So how can transport provide even more benefits for our citizens and societies? How can all transport modes – for passengers as well as freight – contribute to growth that is sustainable? Transport Ministers and business leaders, mayors of major cities, top researchers and representatives of non-governmental organisations met together at the International Transport Forum’s annual summit on 25-27 May 2011 in Leipzig, Germany, to examine these strategic issues. This publication condenses their main findings.

Seamlessness in transport is the physical expression of one of the megatrends of the 21st century: complete connectivity. Seamlessness is about better connecting people and markets, but also about linking sectors, businesses and ideas. Being able to move between geographic locations and transport modes with minimal impediments is a prime desire of all transport users.

Yet the structure of our transport systems with modal transfers, different ownership, international border crossings and security threats makes overcoming the inherent friction in our transport system a permanent challenge. How can we improve seamlessness? To what extent is complete connectivity ultimately feasible? What approaches should be taken politically, institutionally, and technologically?

These are the issues that transport leaders from government, public administration, business and academia explored at the International Transport Forum’s Annual Summit on 2-4 May 2012 in Leipzig, Germany. This publication condenses their main findings.

Demand for mobility around the globe is growing rapidly. Motorisation in emerging economies continues at breath-taking pace, with the number of motor vehicles on the world’s streets rising, according to some estimates, from just over 1 billion today to 2 billion in 2020. Air passenger travel could double, air freight could triple and container handling in ports could quadruple within the next 15 years or so, according to OECD projections.

If we do not want to stifle trade and economic growth and the opportunities these bring for our citizens, we must invest in infrastructure - and we must do so now. Global investment needs to 2030 for key global transport infrastructure alone is estimated by OECD at USD 11 trillion. But policy makers face a difficult dilemma: Almost everywhere public budgets are squeezed as never before in the wake of the global financial and economic crisis. And they are likely to remain tight for quite some time.

The International Transport Forum’s Summit brought together Ministers from ITF member countries and many business leaders in total 1 000 delegates from 79 nations to test ideas, to engage with experts, to align perceptions on the funding issue and explore ways to address it. This publication presents the essence of this substantive debate.

Household choices – such as what to eat, how to get to work and how to heat our homes – have significant implications for the environment. With the urgency of environmental action and the need to shift to more sustainable consumption patterns, making more sustainable choices holds great potential to reduce environmental impacts. Yet in the context of interlocking crises, governments face challenges in supporting households with policies that realise this potential.

How Green is Household Behaviour? presents an overview of results from the 2022 OECD Survey on Environmental Policies and Individual Behaviour Change. The survey investigates household attitudes and behaviour with respect to energy, transport, waste and food systems. It was carried out across more than 17 000 households in 9 countries, including Belgium, Canada, Israel, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The data collected also include information on self-reported motivations and barriers to change, providing a unique source of empirical evidence to inform policy efforts to shift to more sustainable consumption patterns.

Auf der ganzen Welt steigt der Mobilitätsbedarf rasant. Die Motorisierung der Schwellenländer schreitet in einem atemberaubenden Tempo voran. Bis 2020 soll die Anzahl der Kraftfahrzeuge weltweit einigen Schätzungen zufolge von mehr als 1 Milliarde auf gut 2 Milliarden anwachsen. In den nächsten 15 Jahren könnte sich, OECD-Prognosen zufolge, der Personenluftverkehr verdoppeln, die Luftfracht verdreifachen und das Containerhandling in den Häfen vervierfachen.

Wenn wir Handel und Wirtschaftswachstum mit den Chancen, die sie uns bieten, nicht abwürgen wollen, müssen wir in Infrastruktur investieren - und zwar heute noch. Die OECD schätzt, dass allein bis 2030 rund 11 Billionen US-Dollar allein in die Schlüsselinfrastruktur des Verkehrssektors investiert werden müssen.

Das Gipfeltreffen 2013 des Weltverkehrsforums brachte Minister aus den Mitgliedsländern und zahlreiche Wirtschaftsführer zusammen. Insgesamt 1 000 Teilnehmer aus 79 Ländern testeten Ideen und diskutierten mit Experten, um gemeinsame Sichtweisen auf die Fianzierungsprobleme und Ansätze zu ihrer Bewältigung zu finden. Diese Publikation enthält die Zusammenfassung der fachlichen Diskussion.

Nahtlose Mobilität steht für einen der Megatrends des 21. Jahrhunderts: die vollständige Vernetzung. Nahtlosigkeit bedeutet, Menschen und Märkte zu verbinden, aber auch Branchen, Geschäftsfelder und Ideen zu verknüpfen. Wo immer sich Menschen Es ist ein Hauptanliegen aller Verkehrsnutzer, sich nahezu unbeschränkt zwischen unterschiedlichen Orten zu bewegen und dazu nahtlos zwischen Verkehrsträgern zu wechseln.

Die Struktur unserer Verkehrssysteme mit modalen Transfers, Übergängen, unterschiedlichen Eigentumsstrukturen, internationalen Grenzen sowie Risiken für die Sicherheit macht die Überwindung der in unserem Verkehrssystem bestehenden  Reibungen zur permanenten Herausforderung. Wie können wir nahtlose Verknüpfungen verbessern? In welchem Ausmaß ist vollständige Konnektivität letztendlich möglich? Welche politischen, institutionellen oder technologischen Ansätze bringen uns weiter?

Führende Vertreter des Verkehrssektors aus Regierung und öffentlicher Verwaltung, Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft haben diese Fragen beim jährlichen Gipfel des Weltverkehrsforums vom 2. bis 4. Mai 2012 in Leipzig diskutiert. Diese Publikation gibt die wichtigsten Ergebnisse des Gipfels wieder.

Verkehr ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil von und Schlüssel für gesellschaftliche Aktivität. Er ermöglicht es Menschen, ihre Arbeitsstellen zu erreichen, bietet ihnen Zugang zu Bildung und Dienstleistungen und wird auch für die Freizeitgestaltung immer wichtiger. Er fördert den Handel und schafft Arbeitsplätze.  

Eine Welt ohne die ganz konkreten täglichen Vorteile der Mobilität ist undenkbar geworden. Allzu oft wird Verkehr jedoch als Selbstverständlichkeit wahrgenommen. Die gesellschaftlichen Anforderungen an den Transportsektor steigen ständig. Verkehrssysteme müssen angepasst werden, um ihren Nutzen für uns alle zu erhöhen; allerdings lassen sich diese Systeme aufgrund ihrer Komplexität nicht ohne weiteres verändern. Gelegenheiten für einen offenen, ergebnisorientierten Dialog über die Weiterentwicklung von Verkehrssystemen sollten genutzt werden, um das Verständnis für Verkehrsthemen in der Gesellschaft zu fördern. 

Wie kann Verkehr unseren Bürgern und Gesellschaften noch mehr Vorteile bieten? Wie können alle Verkehrsträger – für den Personen- wie für den Gütertransport – zu nachhaltigem Wachstum beitragen? Über diese strategischen Themen debattierten vom 26. bis 27 Mai 2011 in Leipzig Verkehrsminister und führende Persönlichkeiten aus der Wirtschaft, Bürgermeister von Großstädten, Spitzenforscher und Vertreter von nichtstaatlichen Organisationen auf dem jährlichen Weltverkehrsforum. Diese Publikation gibt die wichtigsten Ergebnisse des Gipfels wieder.
