ITF 2025 Summit: Transport Resilience to Global Shocks
ITF Meeting
The ITF 2025 Summit on Transport Resilience to Global Shocks takes place from 21 to 23 May in Leipzig, Germany, under the ITF Presidency of Chile.
The Summit explores how governments ensure the continuity of transport systems amidst current and future disruptions. The programme will focus on key shocks such as natural disasters, pandemics, cyber-attacks, and geopolitical crises, which can cause operational delays, economic losses, and diminished public confidence.
The Summit programme is carefully prepared in collaboration with the International Transport Forum’s 69 member countries, with input from a wide range of stakeholders.
The programme is structured around three key perspectives on transport resilience:
- User: Ensuring system continuity, safety, and communication to minimise disruption impacts.
- Provider: Strategies to maintain operations amid challenges, such as infrastructure damage and workforce shortages.
- Governance and Financing: Policies, partnerships, and funding for sustainable resilience.
