Dear Colleagues,
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will hold its third Transport Forum this
November 2012 focusing on the theme "Inclusive and Sustainable Transport."
Featuring the world's leading transport experts, key developing member
country officials and ADB transport staff, the forum will provide the
opportunity to discuss and debate the most critical issues facing
transport today in the Asia Pacific region.
The forum program will span the breadth of current issues in inclusive and
sustainable transport -- including key sessions on urban transport, road
safety, green freight and transport technologies, climate change
resilience, mode choice, socially inclusive transport, road asset
management, and cross-border transport -- and will also highlight leading
aspects of ADB's work in these areas. New initiatives for the forum
include a transport fair and marketplace which will showcase products and
services of private corporations and international organizations focused
on sustainable transport. Over 400 senior-level representatives from
across the region are expected to attend the forum.
The outline program is available at:
