Bulgaria and Turkey as neighbouring countries face similar challenges regarding climate change. One of the main polluters is the transport sector, so an important goal is to improve the skills of human resources in this area. The advent of artificial intelligence, digitised work tasks and the need to counter climate change are important objectives in the training of transport workers - both formal and on-the-job training. The two universities - Todor Kableshkov University of Transport in Sofia and Thracian University of Edirne - can cooperate very successfully. It is particularly important that transport performs well in terms of sustainability, as it is a consumer of finite resources and has a direct impact on nature.

The objectives of the HR training are to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change in the transport sector, to raise awareness of the Green Deal in order to actively involve and engage transport HR.

Sector-specific expertise and the implementation of scientific and technological advances and innovations are essential to raise skills in the field of green transport and environmental protection. The training will bring together the knowledge of experts to ensure the effective functioning of environmental regulations, cover the reduction of carbon emissions in international trade through the use of green transport solutions, positively influence the awareness raising of HR in transport in Turkey and Bulgaria, present the difficulties of green transport, the application of which in national economies is not an easy task.
