Event Details

Roads are vital for global mobility, handling around 75% of freight and passenger traffic. Despite their importance, roads can cause significant environmental and social impacts. The challenge is to plan, construct, and manage roads that meet mobility needs and enable development and optimize the wider positive impact of roads on while minimizing negative effects.

This workshop will introduce the ADB Green Roads Toolkit, which comprises key measures to enhance the contribution of road development to decarbonization, climate resilience, water and land management, pollution control, biodiversity conservation, disaster preparedness, sustainable material sourcing, quality of life improvement, and inclusive economic growth.

Participants will learn to customize green road measures to fit specific contexts and to formulate strategies to transform road systems in emerging economies. This transformation supports the global sustainability agenda, including the Paris Agreement on climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals.

The workshop will be structured in two parts:

  • Green Roads (Part 1): Pathways to Sustainable Mobility Panel Discussion – 15 October
  • Green Roads (Part 2): Enabling Green Roads Workshop – 16 October
