ITF Summit 2025: Opening Plenary Statement

Chile’s Transport Minister Calls for Global Action on Resilient and Low-Carbon Mobility

With a clear call to move “from dialogue to delivery,” Chilean Minister of Transport and Telecommunications Juan Carlos Muñoz opened the International Transport Forum (ITF) Summit 2025 by urging nations to rethink resilience in transport – not as a reactive measure, but as a proactive strategy for transformation. Speaking on behalf of the ITF presidency, Muñoz emphasised that the sector must simultaneously respond to global shocks and accelerate climate action.

[…] Chile is promoting a call to action to countries in order to increase ambition in the coming COP30 this year in Brazil, where we think it is possible to agree on some concrete indicators and goals from the transport sector.

Framing climate change as a systemic risk, the Minister issued a call to action ahead of COP30: for countries to include specific transport targets in their climate commitments. He also introduced two policy recommendations, on road safety and AI in transport, developed under Chile’s ITF presidency.
