The latest activities by JTTRI-AIRO, such as conducting research, holding seminars and collaborating parties in the field of transport and tourism.

On Wednesday, December 14, 2022, AIRO (Mr. YAMASHITA Senior Director and his team) had participate in the club of Rome 50th Anniversary commemorative international symposium at Office of Academic Resource, Chulalongkorn University. The Symposium was held by co-organizers such as Rome Club, Chulalongkorn University, Japan Transport and Tourism Research Institute (JTTRI) . In a part of many programs of this symposium, AIRO have taken the part on Roundtable discussion session 1: "Mobility and Mortality Risk Challenges" with its presentation titled "Transport Safety in the ASEAN-India Region" and made discussion.

For reference : Scope of Symposium (from The Club of Rome symposium pamphlet) 
“As catastrophic changes to the global climate become a real possibility with existential consequences for humanity, mobility must be transformed. The main sources of emissions are rapidly growing in mega-cities in Asian and African emerging economies. The Club of Rome report “The Limits to Growth” warned in 1972 that food and other resources would not catch up with the exponentially growing population. Likewise, transport infrastructure supply today cannot catch up with rapidly growing motorization. Similarly, technological innovations in developed countries do not always work. We are hence in dire need of substantial behavioral transformation. To commemorate and reflect on the 50th anniversary of The Club of Rome’s 1st Report “The Limits to Growth,” this international symposium focuses on critical issues and policy options that aim to transform mobility, so that humans can escape eventual extinction while still leading worthy and meaningful lives.”
