Conflict, climate risk, economic instability… today’s development landscape is a challenging and highly volatile one. In the face of growing uncertainty, investing in robust transport systems is a crucial step toward creating stronger economies and communities. Resilient transport helps ensure continued access to essential goods and services, and can provide a critical lifeline when responding to emergency situations. Given its importance in the current development context, the issue of resilience will be at the heart of this year’s Transforming Transportation conference, with keynote addresses by Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, and Anna Bjerde, World Bank Vice President for Europe and Central Asia.
