Plenary
Transport corridors play a vital role in regional trade, connectivity, and economic development, but they also face shared vulnerabilities from extreme weather events, geopolitical tensions, and systemic disruptions. Building resilience at this scale requires cross-border cooperation, multimodal planning, and joint investment strategies. This plenary brings together ministers, regional organisations, and financial partners to explore how collaborative governance and financing can strengthen the resilience of key corridors across global regions, while ensuring that local communities along the routes also benefit. • How can countries and regional institutions work together to strengthen the resilience of transport corridors? • How can rapidly changing transport volume patterns be better considered in funding to ensure resilience? • How can quick recovery plans be financed to maintain international connectivity? • What governance and financing tools support cross-border infrastructure that promotes wider economic benefits?
