Welcome

Binali YıldırımPresident of the International Transport Forum,Minister of Transport,Turkey

Difficult times require new thinking. Today, in the face of the current economic downturn, global transportation faces major challenges, but also opportunities for sustainable change. With car sales down, shipping rates plummeting and manufacturing capacity underutilised, supply chains and transport industries around the world are presented with an unprecedented set of challenges. Yet, even within this context, there are also new possibilities for positive action. The revitalisation of international trade is certain: the question is not if - but how and when? To address the situation, policy-makers everywhere are employing instruments to engage an economic recovery process, many of which are already showing tentative results in national economies. Transport can and will play an important role in these stimulus packages. At the same time, actions to speed economic recovery should ensure a major rethinking of transport programmes to prepare global mobility in the 21st century. Traditionally, transport has greatly facilitated global growth in trade and revenue, as well as promoting social and economic interaction. Now more than ever, the world needs a more efficient, safer, better funded, more interoperable and more sustainable transport system underpinning growth and development. In this sense, the long-term transport agenda remains unchanged. A unique platform for strategic thinking on the essential role played by transport today and in the future, the International Transport Forum is a global inter-governmental platform which presently brings together 52 Ministries. Together with senior representatives from government, industry and the scientific community, the 2009 Forum is an opportunity to review some of the most pressing questions posed by volatile global developments:

How is the current crisis re-shaping transport?What are the right policy responses? What is the role for transport in an effectivestimulus package? Can environmental goals still be met? What measures are needed to deal with thesocial consequences of the crisis? How can current developments help the transport sector to evolve further to provide a future-oriented mobility of the21st century?

More efficient transport can create a significant boost to support economic growth and create new confidence in the economic future. Yet, protectionist and purely national responses risk accentuating the problem in the medium-term, and solutions need to be found at an international level. The 2009 Forum in Leipzig is an opportunity to be part of this cooperative impetus for change.

International trade has grown rapidly over recent decades, and transport volumes have expanded accordingly. World trade value has increased over20–fold since 1950, driven primarily by growth in the exchange of industrial products. Technological improvements in the transport sector, such as containerisation, have also had profound effects on the organisation of production and consumption. As a consequence, air cargo has grown nearly 12 per cent annually since the 1950s while ocean shipping has grown four-fold since the 1970s.

Does the current economic recession, following hard on a period of extremely high oil prices, mark a definitive turning point for the process of globalisation? Until recently, the general expectation was one of further fast growth of freight volumes within the current geographical pattern of globalisation. Clearly the current economic downturn interrupts the trend, translating into negative growth in traffic. Meanwhile, the transport sector faces enormous challenges in our globalised economy including oil price vulnerability, climate change, congestion, security and raising finance for investment. These will rapidlyre-emerge when trade volumes begin again to grow.

Global rules for global road freight transport and road travel - how can international regulatory tools be used to benefit trade, travel and road transport?

THEMES:

Resolving both economic and environmental crises: the role of rail - can rail investment support economic recovery and also contribute to meeting targets for cutting CO2 emissions in the transport sector?

Global transport governance: realising the potential of rail - governments and railways need to accept a common responsibility, and improve the efficiency and reliability of key administrative, governmental and operational processes for cross-border and long-distance rail systems

THEMES:

The global regulation of shipping - why a global regulatory regime is vital to ensure the safety, efficiency and competitiveness of the international shipping industry, which transports about 90% of world trade by volume

Energy efficiency: A priority in a time of economic downturn - how carbon emissions reductions will be delivered, at the global level, by IMO and the international shipping industry

On the occasion of the International Transport Forum, Leipzig schoolchildren aged 8-11 will be invited to ask questions to policy-makers and specialists at a special Children’s University (“KUNI”) devoted to the everyday impact of globalisation. A popular concept throughout Germany, the Children’s University benefits children and adults by engaging them in a meaningful discussion on the facts and remedies to societal issues while recognising that young people can have an impact in triggering behavioural changes.

Deutsche Post World Net opened in 2008 its state-of-the-art air hub in Leipzig/Halle. The new hub sets industry standards with the largest sorting system in Germany and a hangar with a floor space of 23 000 square metres. It provides 3 500 new jobs. Leipzig/Halle is one of the most important hubs – alongside Hong Kong and Wilmington (USA) – in DHL´s global network. In any working day up to 60 DHL airplanes use the new airport and handle up to2 000 tonnes of freight.
