Building Capacity for Conserving and Managing Natural Capital during the Planning and Implementation of Transportation Projects in South Asia Read more about Building Capacity for Conserving and Managing Natural Capital during the Planning and Implementation of Transportation Projects in South Asia Global infrastructure investment is accelerating dramatically. For transport infrastructure alone, 25 million kilometers of roads will be added by 2050 – with 90% in developing countries – including many regions that sustain exceptional biodiversity. The Sustainable Development Goals call for sustainable infrastructure and recognizes that the conservation of biodiversity and critical ecosystem services underpins all of the SDGs. Key questions - How can we ensure that the investments are sustainable? What guidance and innovations can support infrastructure planning and design?
Solar Boats: A New Paradigm to Respectfully Sail the Seas Read more about Solar Boats: A New Paradigm to Respectfully Sail the Seas Many Asian countries rely heavily on the ocean as a principal source of income, mainly from fishing and tourism. While clean mobility has the spotlight on land, little has been done to render marine transportation cleaner and more cost-effective for low-income fishermen or small business owners. Millions of small boats roam the Asian seas most often propelled by outdated engines with high fuel consumption and environmental impact. This presentation explores pragmatic and efficient eco-alternatives to polluting boats, leveraging on the ever more efficient renewable energy technologies.
