13. «Shaping the Railway of the 21st Century» High Speed rail transport as important aspect of national policy related to: Land usage Energy security Environmental issues

14. «Shaping the Railway of the 21st Century» Impact of economic and population growth Asia’s population will be 5 billion, more than 50% in China and India (Shanghai 27 million, Tokyo 29 million, Beijing 22 million habitants with 11 out of 23 mega cities being in Asia) With average car usage alone, China’s carbon emissions will be more than 1 billion tons, equivalent to annual emission from world wide transport today! In 2025

15. «Shaping the Railway of the 21st Century» China will need more than 13 million hectares of land (mostly cropland) related to automobile transport. Constituting more than 50% of 23 million hectares available for cropland Indian economic development will produce similar data Impact on oil reserves is reflected by the fact that 21st century will be consuming 5 times that of 20th century

16. «Shaping the Railway of the 21st Century» While fuel efficient cars/ alternative forms of energy and high yield cropping are progressing it is rail transport in particular high speed will play an important role UIC along with CR & IR will work on specific studies UIC will lead a study with UNEP + IEA + WFO to highlight the challenges
