In his speech at the ITF Summit, Director General Kees van der Burg paid tribute to Jan Terlouw, a multifaceted figure known as a scientist, politician, and humanist. Terlouw, who passed away recently, was recognized for his advocacy for climate action and ethical considerations in the realm of transport. As the former Secretary-General of the European Conference of Ministers of Transport, he emphasized the social impact of mobility and the moral obligation of ensuring clean transport. Terlouw's legacy lies in his call for moral clarity, trust in politics, and active leadership, inspiring continued efforts towards clean, fair, and inclusive transport at the ITF.
