The Conference concluded that minimizing and mitigating conflicts between linear transport infrastructure and nature protection not only is of high importance but also possible if a science-based and pro-active cross-sectoral approach is applied at the local, national, regional and EU levels. The Carpathian Convention and its Protocol on Sustainable Transport were acknowledged as key promoters of this approach.
