The presentation will highlight the THT’s evolution from concept to tool, as well as revealing its general content, to attendees. Background information on the THT’s development path, the many agencies and experts involved in the process, and the key milestones during the creation of the THT will be described. Before the THT is demonstrated live to the attendees, sample indicator profiles, contextual elements and accompanying strategies will be shown, so that audience members have an overall picture of how each element supports the THT.
