International Events Featuring Promotivate’s Leading Keynote Speakers on Sustainability in 2025
November 26th, 2024, was World Sustainable Transport Day. In November 2024, Promotivate provided leading international keynote speakers on sustainability for major initiatives. It was regarding the sustainable development of the oceans and transport systems at regional and state levels in Spain, Portugal, and Mexico. The sustainable development of ocean and transport systems is crucial for balancing economic growth, environmental health, and social equity.
Blue Economy Potential:
The Global ‘Blue Economy’ consisting of fisheries, tourism, renewable energy, and marine transport is valued trillions annually. It heavily depends on healthy oceans.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions:
The transport sector is responsible for about 25% of C02 emissions. Shifting to low-carbon solutions like electric vehicles and hydrogen-powered ships is essential.
Oceans Absorb Carbon:
Oceans absorb about 30% of global CO2 emissions and produce over 50% of the oxygen we breathe, making their health critical in combating climate change.
Public Transit:
Investing in sustainable public transport systems, like electric buses and light rail, can reduce urban emissions and traffic congestion.
Ocean Plastics:
By 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean if current pollution rates persist. Solutions like biodegradable materials and plastic bans are critical.
