Civil Engineering Workshop: Advancing Integrated Solutions for Sustainable Transportation

On April 24, 2026, the IMaTS community at McGill University will host the workshop “Climate, Emissions, and Energy in Transportation: Integrated Approaches for Sustainable Mobility.”

This event brings together researchers across transportation, energy systems, and climate science to address one central challenge: how to design mobility systems that are both low-carbon and operationally resilient.

A Systems Perspective on Mobility

Decarbonizing transportation is no longer just about electrification. It requires understanding how vehicles, infrastructure, energy systems, and human behavior interact.

The workshop emphasizes this systems perspective, exploring topics such as:

• Climate impacts on transportation infrastructure

• Emissions monitoring and energy transition

• Electric vehicle operations and grid integration

• Data-driven and AI-based mobility solutions

• Resilience of urban systems under extreme conditions

From Research to Collaboration

Beyond presentations, the goal is to strengthen collaboration within IMaTS and across the department.

The workshop is designed to:

• Connect complementary research efforts

• Identify opportunities for joint projects and funding

• Foster interdisciplinary approaches to sustainable mobility
