This is Roundtable.
I'm he young.
For today's program, I'm joined by Steve Hatherly and Yoo Shun in the studio.
First on today's show, Beijing just hosted the Global Sustainable Transport Forum 2024 from September 25 to 26th.
With newly released reports, big plans and game changing ideas on the table, the event brought global leaders together to tackle the future of eco friendly transportation.
But what does sustainable transport actually mean, and how does that impact our everyday lives?
So, Yushun, your chance to take up explainer duty today.
Okay, so according to looks good on.
A business card, official explainer of some official terms.
Okay, according to International Institute of for Sustainable Development, which is a UN's advisory group.
So sustainable transport refers to services and infrastructure that advance social and economic development in a safe, affordable and environmentally friendly manner, reducing carbon and other emissions.
So to offer some more down to earth examples, public transportation, such as electricity, buses and trains that can carry people far more efficiently than cars, and other healthier methods like cycling and walking are all included.
And one thing I think I would like to introduce is called BRT bus rapid transit.
