Event Overview

The operational needs of the transportation industry are progressing far beyond just transportation. Large carriers and freight forwarders are developing into logistics companies that offer not only transportation but also port operations and other logistics services. In fact, the global transport sector is developing into an intermodal and multimodal world in which transportation is no longer limited to one mode of transport alone, but in which goods only reach their destination through the interaction of many different players. And all these initiatives need to be sustainable and efficient.

Panama is a jurisdiction that connects all that, being a perfect hub for transportation, logistics and sustainable practices and certainly a great venue for connecting young lawyers from around the globe for this AIJA seminar.
The academic programme will focus on core transport and logistic issues, diving into the legal aspects and challenges of the various kinds of green transportation and efficient logistics, integrating energy law and trade aspects, including transport of CO2 and environmental healthy transport. Participants will also have the opportunity to discuss the development of new technologies such as “green hydrogen” in the region, business opportunities, challenges and current synergies with Europe.

The Transport and Logistics Law Commission and the Environmental and Energy Law Commission envisage a great match in bringing AIJA to Panama and addressing such relevant topics and hope to see you all in Panama City.
