Introduction
To enhance familiarity with UIC and its activities, UIC is organizing a series of web meetings for Asia-Pacific members. These sessions are designed to foster greater engagement in UIC initiatives and provide an opportunity for direct inquiries.
This particular session will focus on the vital topics of Sustainability and Statistics. The webinar will explore the crucial role of data and regional platforms in driving sustainable railway development across the Asia-Pacific region, showcasing how collective efforts can turn indices into real impact.
Attendees will gain insight into:
- UIC’s Sustainability & Statistics Platforms: Strategic directions, global data activities, and ongoing projects you can actively get involved in.
- Practical Tools & Frameworks: A live demonstration of the Rail Sustainability Index (RSI) and insights into the Traction Energy Database.
- Member Impacts & Best Practices: First-hand experiences from APRA members utilizing these tools, alongside a spotlight on the Zero Waste Railways project (featuring insights from KORAIL).
- Interactive Engagement: Opportunities to share your regional sustainability challenges via live polls, participate in Q&A sessions, and network for future collaboration.
Please note, this event is exclusive to UIC members.
