The Maritime Standard has confirmed the programme for the third edition of the Transportation and Climate Change Conference (TACCC), which will take place on Thursday, 25th September 2025, at the Saadiyat Rotana Resort in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Building on the momentum of previous editions, TACCC 2025 will once again bring together key industry players from across the transport spectrum to explore practical steps toward achieving sustainable, low-carbon transportation systems.
Climate goals across the transportation sector
The programme has been developed to provide participants with actionable insights into policy direction
This year’s event will be held under the theme “Accelerating Sustainable Transportation: Innovation, Policy & Climate Action,” reflecting the growing urgency to align operational realities with climate goals across the global transportation sector.
The programme has been developed to provide participants with actionable insights into policy direction, regulatory updates, technological developments, and investment priorities, all essential to reducing emissions and enhancing environmental performance.
Aspects of decarbonisation
The conference will open with a keynote address by a prominent industry pioneer, setting the tone for a day of focused discussion.
This will be followed by two dedicated sessions, each exploring critical aspects of decarbonisation and innovation in transportation.
Challenges in achieving net-zero goals
The session will also take into account the broader context of ongoing geopolitical uncertainties
The first session, titled Net-Zero Maritime Transport – Policy, Investment & Global Roadmap, will examine the role of policy frameworks, green financing mechanisms, port decarbonisation strategies, and the prospects for alternative fuels.
The session will also take into account the broader context of ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and their impact on investment flows and global regulatory alignment. Following individual speaker presentations, a panel discussion will bring together key stakeholders to explore synergies and challenges in achieving net-zero goals across the transport sector.
Innovations & Technology for Decarbonised Mobility
The second session, Innovations & Technology for Decarbonised Mobility, will focus on the integration of emerging technologies to drive progress. Topics will include the electrification of transport systems, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and scalable infrastructure for multimodal networks.
Speakers will assess how innovation can support compliance, improve operational efficiency, and reduce the sector’s carbon footprint. This session will also conclude with a panel discussion to enable a comprehensive exchange of views and practical experiences from across the industry.
Current challenges and practical pathways
Each session will feature a panel of expert speakers representing industry, government
Each session will feature a panel of expert speakers representing industry, government, finance, and technology.
Their insights will offer a comprehensive view of current challenges and practical pathways to accelerate climate action in transportation. Full speaker details will be announced in the coming weeks.
Q&A segments
Audience engagement will be encouraged throughout the event, with Q&A segments built into each session to foster interactive dialogue.
The conference will close with a networking reception, providing participants with the opportunity to exchange ideas and build new connections in an informal setting.
