“There
is no silver bullet. There are lots of bullets.
Fire them!”
Patrick Oliva used these words to
describe the necessary technological response to environmental
challenges, at the highly successful first IRF "Roads
& the Environment" Conference in Geneva, February
5-6
Under the Presidency of Jean Beauverd
(Colas Switzerland) more than 140 experts and professionals
debated the issues. The event had been given topicality
by the latest IPCC report - particularly by study of the
effects of man-made CO2 and methane emissions.
"I congratulate you on the
IRF Conference quality... I found it useful to be exposed
to major private companies' perspectives and advanced initiatives..."
