Our IW-NET consortium colleagues from the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria (FHOÖ) are also involved in this interesting global event. Bianca Borca is part of the Organising Committee. Dr Lisa-Maria Putz is going to make a presentation on ‘Transport Emissions in Freight Transport’. The presentation will start by introducing the audience in the topic of climate change, including European initiatives to handle the challenge, e.g. the European Green Deal. The presentation also contains the contribution of traffic to the overall CO2 emissions, comparisons of emissions and external costs of the different transport modes and the GLEC framework.
