Organiser: World Bank
This session examines transport resilience through the lens of skills and human capital: how countries, institutions, and the private sector can build the workforce needed to develop, operate, and sustain resilient transport systems. It will explore how AI and automation are reshaping transport job profiles, what policy trade-offs arise when balancing immediate job creation with long-term workforce sustainability, and how transport resilience connects to broader economic growth and inclusive labour markets.
