    1x02 Paving the Way to Net Zero: PIARC’s Global Push for Decarbonization

    In this episode of Global Road Voices, host Nadia Lappa (Technical Advisor for Decarbonisation) speaks with leading experts Fabio Pasquali (Strategic Theme Coordinator for Decarbonization) and Jan Pettersson (Chair of the Technical Committee 3.5) to unpack one of the most urgent issues facing the transport sector—decarbonization. With roads accounting for a quarter of global CO₂ emissions, this conversation explores how countries are tackling the transition to net zero, the role of international collaboration, emerging technologies like Electric Road Systems, and what’s needed to turn bold climate commitments into real-world impact. Recorded just ahead of PIARC’s first-ever International Conference on Road Decarbonization in Vienna in May 2025, this episode offers insights into the innovations, policies, and partnerships shaping a sustainable transport future.

    The changing role of transport agencies: Why adaptation is key? Transport agencies around the world are evolving— but why is change necessary? In this episode, PIARC Secretary General Patrick Malléjacq sits down with Christos Xenophontos, Chair of PIARC Technical Committee 1.1 Performance of Transport Administrations and representative of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (USA), to discuss the future of transport governance. Drawing on insights from the PIARC Technical Report “Envisioning the Transport Agency of the Future – State of Knowledge”, they explore how transport agencies can embrace research and innovation to drive economic growth and sustainable development. The conversation highlights how the sector is responding to rapid technological, environmental, and societal changes, with a special focus on the role of Artificial Intelligence in transportation networks. Finally, they emphasize the importance of a skilled workforce in bringing transport policies to life.
