This week, Mitesh Solanki, CIHT president was interviewed by the NCE website. The article 'Calls for greater transport resilience during snow as experts detail scale of disruption' contained a series of comments from industry figures.

Mitesh also urged turning existing contingency policies into actionable measures, improving coordination across agencies, and accelerating adaptation efforts to prepare for increasingly severe weather conditions driven by climate change.
