I.            INTRODUCTION

This Round Table on “Protection of transport infrastructure at the stages of design, construction, and operation” will be held by the secretariat as part of the 2022 UNECE Inland Transport Security Forum. It is designed to provide the Working Party on Transport Trends and Economics (WP.5) the opportunity to take stock of the security threats faced by the transport infrastructure sector and identify possible policies and approaches that can help to address these challenges most effectively.

II.          OBJECTIVES

The Roundtable is expected to gather transport security experts and infrastructure engineers from Ministries in charge of transport and public works and other relevant, road, rail, and inland waterway authorities as well as from private sector, academia, research institutions and independent experts engaged in this field from across the UNECE region and beyond.

It will provide a platform for participants to:

  • Raise awareness about the security aspects of transport infrastructure construction projects at the stages of design, construction, and operation.
  • Exchange views, ideas, and national experiences on how to better identify, prevent and manage such security threats.
  • Identify next steps and possible UNECE/ WP.5 contributions in this field.
