2nd International Conference on Roads and the Environment
November 10-11, 2008
Geneva, Switzerland
Climate change is only one of the growing list of drivers underpinning clean-technology investments. But the evidence of its impact on our daily life is certainly a great incentive for the world to become more serious about tackling the environmental challenge the planet has to face.
How does the road sector face the problem? What are the means deployed to improve its environmental performance?
Leading scientists, researchers, policy makers, practitioners from both the public and private sector will gather in Geneva for the 2nd Roads and the Environment Conference to discuss about:
- Environment-friendly construction materials and technologies
- Noise mitigation through low-noise road surfaces and advanced tire testing
- Water management in road design, construction and operation
- Monitoring and accounting emissions: the IRF Greenhouse Gas Calculator for the road sector
- Carbon markets: looking beyond Bali
