The U.S. Administration unveiled on 10 January 2023 the National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization, a “landmark interagency framework of strategies and actions to remove all emissions from the transportation sector by 2050”. This blueprint proposes a multimodal approach and lays out three key strategies to achieve decarbonization: increase convenience; improve efficiency; and transition to clean options. Building and relying on the historic investments and funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the blueprint sets ambitious but achievable targets and actions across all modes of transport for 2030, 2040 and 2050.

As a major enabler of this strategy, the IRA is perceived around the world as a crucial step in the global decarbonization efforts, with massive opportunities for clean energy production and manufacturing in the United States.

Please join us for a high-level discussion on what type of policies are being implemented on both sides of the Atlantic to decarbonize transportation, how they will play out in maritime and air transportation, and on supply chains, what opportunities exist for companies active in the areas of clean energy production and manufacturing, and more.

Samuel K. Skinner, Former Secretary of Transportation & Chief of Staff to President George H.W. Bush will be offering the keynote speech.

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION
• What is the place of the IRA in the U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization and how will it benefit the decarbonization efforts of companies in the United States?
• What similar policies for transportation decarbonization are being implemented in the EU?
• What are the opportunities for cooperation between the EU and the U.S. in these areas?
• What initiatives are being taken locally by Miami-Dade County to decarbonize transportation, its ports and airports?

Nowadays the word sustainability is bouncing everywhere around us. But, are we really aware of its meaning?. Tom proposes that, in a world where governments don’t care about sustainability, we, the people, are the ones who need to take lead of the situation and make a change. Technology is only an axis of the process, but we are the ones who need to start it.

A sustainability professional with experience in working with major global players in the pharmaceutical, technology, home furniture and consumer healthcare industries in improving environmental performance within the supply chain.
