Training Session 5 - Green Roads Toolkit: Transport Forum 2024

Roads are essential for economic and social development but can also have significant impacts on the environment and communities. The challenge lies in planning, preparing, constructing, and managing roads that efficiently address mobility needs while minimizing #transport externalities and preserving nature. This workshop, held last 16 May 2024, introduced the ADB Green Roads Toolkit, a compilation of good green roads practices, tools, and strategies intended to foster preparation of eco-friendly, climate-resilient, and sustainable roads in Asia and the Pacific. The session explored the application of this toolkit in planning and designing roads that align to sustainable development goals and support the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change.
