Green Growth in Transportation

Joint OECD ITF/KOTI Seminar 25 November 2010, OECD Conference Centre, Paris

This seminar addressed the issue of green growth in transport from broader perspectives. Green growth requires not only identifying cleaner sources of growth but also establishing proper framework or incentive structure for fostering new green industries while minimizing undesirable social costs. Technological options and their potential to contribute to green growth were discussed. Perspectives on the role of the transport related industries as well as the government were also explored. The output of this seminar was channelled into the next 2011 Leipzig Forum whose main theme was 'Transport for Society' as an input.
