COP31: Turning Points to Zero Emission Transport

09.11.2026
11:30 - 12:15
Antalya, Türkiye
COP29 Nordic Pavilion

Decarbonising heavy-duty road transport, shipping, and aviation remains one of the defining challenges of the global energy transition. Yet imagine arriving at COP45 entirely emission-free and looking back at the breakthroughs, investments, collaborations, and policy decisions that made it possible.

In this session, Nordic youth delegates challenge today's industry leaders and policymakers to explain how that future became reality. Looking back from a future perspective, they will ask: How did we get here? Which technologies succeeded? Which policy decisions unlocked progress? What innovations transformed the way people and goods move across the globe?

While the discussion is built around a future scenario, zero-emission transport is already becoming a reality. Across the Nordic region, cooperation is advancing sustainable fuels, green shipping corridors, electric and hydrogen-powered aviation, charging and fuelling infrastructure, and integrated transport systems.

This session will explore how practical testing, public-private partnerships, and regional cooperation can accelerate the transition to zero-emission transport.

Join us for an interesting session. If you are lucky, you will be able to build your own fossil free airplane.
