On March 3rd, Greg Suligowski of #Merseyrail represented #Transport #UK at #UNESCO's World Engineering Day in #Paris, #France. The theme, Unleashing the Power of #Engineers to Advance the SDGs, emphasised the role of engineering in sustainable development. Discussions focused on integrating sustainability into decision-making and the need for engineers to engage with policymakers for informed, sustainable investments. Emerging technologies, such as #AI, were explored, highlighting both their benefits and challenges. Transport UK is leading the way in sustainable transport solutions, from battery-operated trains in Liverpool to hydrogen-powered trains in development. In #London, TUK bus depots now feature electric bus charging stations. The event celebrated global engineering talent and reinforced Transport UK's commitment to sustainability and the UN's SDG #11.
