DESCRIPTION:Transportation: What’s Fuelling the Transition?\n\nNow that the
  nations of the world have agreed to act on climate change\, and that most
  of them have set GHG reduction goals\, it is time to take serious actions
  at reducing our dependency on fossil fuels. Since a large fraction of the
 m are consumed – quite inefficiently\, moreover – for transporting goods a
 nd people\, reaching these goals will require major transformations of thi
 s sector of activity.\n\nSo\, the Annual Trottier Symposium series will co
 ntribute to this mandatory energy transition by dedicating its fourth symp
 osium to the transport sector and the challenges it faces\, by exploring a
  number of possible futures\, knowing that many upcoming technologies make
  a transition to a low-carbon society more likely each day.\n\nTechnology 
 alone will not be enough\, however. But introduction of new\, disruptive t
 echnologies is the occasion to re-evaluate our portfolio of transit tools.
  And if by the same occasion we revisit the goals of transportation\, urba
 n design\, and the public and private vision\, not only can we obtain envi
 ronmental benefits\, but also economic and social ones.\n\nA successful tr
 ansition will be more likely if we first ask ourselves the right questions
 . Ours is: “What’s fuelling the transition?” What will be yours?\n\n\nAbou
 t the Trottier Symposium on Sustainable Engineering\, Energy and Design \n
 \nEach year the Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and D
 esign (TISED) at McGill University and the Institut de l’énergie Trottier 
 (IET) at Polytechnique Montréal take turns hosting this event. Made possib
 le through the generous support of Dr. Lorne Trottier\, this is a forum fo
 r students\, professors\, government and industry professionals to connect
  with the general public on advancements for sustainability through engine
 ering and design. The First Annual Symposium was hosted by McGill Universi
 ty in 2014 on Sustainable Cities and Industries and the Second Annual Symp
 osium was hosted by Polytechnique Montréal in 2015 on Energy in Quebec and
  Canada: A Conversation Starter and the Third Annual Symposium was once ag
 ain hosted by McGill University in 2016 on Renewable Energy: What holds us
  back? What moves us forward?”\n\nThe Annual Symposium focuses attention o
 n energy usage and the relevance of sustainable engineering and design to 
 peoples’ lives. This series has been made possible by the generous gift fr
 om the Lorne Trottier Family Foundation.\n
