Coal and goods trains are leaving a trail of death and suffering in at least two wildlife reserves in northern KwaZulu-Natal as they speed to Richards Bay.
Hosted by the International Conference on Ecology and Transportation (ICOET), the inaugural
Global Congress for Linear Infrastructure and Environment (GCLIE) will take place virtually over a two-day period: 20 & 21 September 2021, preceding the 2021 ICOET conference.
The first GCLIE will set a foundation for the understanding of transportation and environmental issues across continents, exploring the similarities and differences to inform meaningful dialogue and influence positive change on the global stage. GCLIE will compliment and coordinate the work of the five existing continental conferences by focusing on big ideas and intense dialogue to encourage high-level contributions to environmental preservation and long-term sustainability with a global reach.
