ACLIE

The inaugural Global Congress for Linear Infrastructure and Environment.

The Endangered Wildlife Trust and the International Conference on Ecology and Transportation, otherwise known as ICOET, hosted the Global Congress for Linear Infrastructure and Environment virtually on 20-21 September. With over 100 delegates from around the world, the Congress aims to build upon the achievements of the continental conferences for linear infrastructure (which includes rail, roads, power lines, pipelines, and canals) and develop tools (e.g., scientific briefs on particular topics) for influencing global decisions-makers to aim for more sustainable new and existing linear infrastructure.

By bringing together a diverse range of participants from across the world, GCLIE is fostering a community of practice that will collectively answer some of the most challenging questions of our time.
