Al-Khaleea urges African railway reform
The article confirmed that upgrading the railway sector in Africa is a strategic priority to address challenges related to population growth and urban expansion. The goal is to promote sustainable transportation to achieve comprehensive development in line with the African Union's Agenda 2063. It highlights the importance of developing modern and efficient railway networks, with a focus on project financing, as funding remains a major challenge. Enhancing partnerships and adopting sustainable financing models are necessary. Morocco is considered a leading example, especially through the "Al Boraq" train, which is Africa's first high-speed train, serving over 55 million passengers annually, with investments amounting to nearly 10 billion euros by 2030. Experts emphasized that rail transport significantly contributes to combating climate change, as its development could reduce carbon emissions by up to 1.8 billion tons by 2050. The forum concluded with an initiative to launch an international coalition aimed at reviewing methodologies for calculating carbon credits from public and rail transportation, to foster further sustainable adoption of these modes.
