WWF's Greening Transportation Infrastructure

About

WWF's Greening Transportation Infrastructure Development initiative is part of a broader effort to balance transportation needs with biodiversity protection and climate change mitigation. This project aims to integrate biodiversity and ecosystem considerations into transportation planning, ensuring that infrastructure development is sustainable and nature-positive. It involves strengthening policies and regulations to support climate-resilient infrastructure and developing frameworks to mitigate environmental risks associated with infrastructure projects. The initiative is implemented globally, with specific projects in countries like the Philippines, Suriname, Malaysia, Nepal, and Ukraine. Each project tailors its approach to local ecosystems, focusing on areas such as road infrastructure, port development, and marine biodiversity conservation. By engaging stakeholders and developing sustainable planning processes, these projects support both economic development and environmental protection, ensuring that transportation infrastructure enhances rather than harms natural ecosystems.
