Besides airtime, this kiosk offered up an array of additional goods.
Organised by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan, Life-Links, Kuehne Climate Center, IRF, Oris Materials Intelligence, and the Asian Transport Observatory, this session explores how to improve the resilience and connectivity of international logistics networks disrupted by global shocks. Panel 1, moderated by Emiko Araki (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism), features Sakiko Hirokane (Logistics and Road Transportation), Yaroslav Kholodov (ITF), Miyoung Kim (Toyota Tsusho Corporation), Kazuhito Yoda (Nissin Corporation), and Aleksandra Suladze (Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia). They discuss diversifying freight routes between Europe and Northeast Asia through Central and Southeast Asia, addressing challenges like transportation costs, lead times, and procedures. Panel 2, moderated by Sophie Punte (Life-Links), features Gonzalo Alcaraz (International Road Federation), Mark Major (Kuehne Climate Center), Jamie Leather (Asian Development Bank), Nicolas Miravalls (Oris Materials Intelligence), Susanna Zammataro (FIDIC), Andrea San Gil Léon (Global Network for Popular Transport), and Warwick Townsend (Alstom). This panel discusses the resilience of existing supply chains and corridors, focusing on KPIs that support policy, investment, and empower local communities and transport providers, particularly in the Global South. This session explores how lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic guide the development of resilient transport systems that prevent the spread of future infectious diseases. Speakers Bertrand de Lacombe (Airbus), Billy Hann (Dublin Bus), François Davenne (UIC), Sonal Shah (Urban Catalysts), and Tomas Serebrisky (IDB) discuss the implementation of better detection mechanisms, buffer zones at critical infrastructure points, and preparedness strategies, including contingency plans, communication frameworks, and international collaboration. They also explore the role of digital technologies in enhancing safety and flexibility for both workers and passengers. The session takes place during the International Transport Forum’s 2025 Summit “Transport Resilience to Global Shocks” held on 21 May 2025 in Leipzig, Germany.
Illegal mining in Ghanaian rural communities is causing extreme river pollution. This is also causing devastating life for the rural poor and aquatic lives both of whom depend hugely on these rivers. The main underlying cause of this illegal mining is a lack of alternative economic activities to support livelihood as found by many scientific and independent studies. This is the reason why Ronny and a group of concerned youth from CERPA have developed this “Livelihood Diversification as a Solution to River Pollution” project to provide skills in mushroom cultivation and marketing for illegal miners and potential illegal miners to combat this heart-wrenching situation. This project is initiating at Akim Manso in the Eastern Region of Ghana which is one of the most affected communities.

Standing maize crop in a research field in Punjab Agriculture University, Ludhiana. The yellowish hue of the photograph is due to the freak dusty weather that had engulfed North India during June 2018.
Maize is one of the main crops identified as a replacement of water-guzzling paddy in Punjab. AKA corn, it is one of the most planted cash crops in the world, including the United States. The American food industry uses corn syrup as an alternative to sugar, thus creating a large market for corn processing.

With support from USAID through NHPplus, Tharaka Nithi Green Gold CBO has diversified the activities of its members beyond making of handicrafts to value addition to a wide range of local foods and tree products. TGG has been recognized for its efforts to promote locally available foods through training, exhibitions and other outreach events.
USAID’s Kenya Nutrition and Health program Plus (NHPplus) works with local partners to implement community interventions to improve nutrition and food security for households. In Tharaka Nithi County, NHPplus has partnered with a community-based organization, Tharaka Nithi Green Gold (TGG), to train members of self-help groups to integrate nutrition education into their livelihood activities. The CBO is a consortium of eight community groups with over 160 members, 122 of them women. With NHPplus support, the CBO members promote technologies to improve access and consumption of diversified diets. For instance, the group has promoted adoption of vertical bags. The technology is particularly useful in areas where water is scarce, like vast areas of Tharaka Nithi County, one of five counties, also supported by Feed the Future, where NHPplus is implementing agrinutrition interventions with support from USAID. By September 2018, TGG members have established 127 vertical gardens using bags provided by the project for demonstration. Due to growing demand, the CBO has started making its own bags for sale to members and other community members.
Besides the vertical bags and other bio-intensive gardening techniques, TGG members have also been trained on rearing of small livestock such as chickens and rabbits, and value addition of farm produce to improve availability of food for families across seasons and for income.
Tharaka Nithi Green Gold is now passing on the knowledge and skills learnt through support from USAID NHPplus to other community groups from the county and beyond.
