On 3 March 2020, the Transport Knowledge Hub held a national workshop focused on how to provide a credible framework for the decarbonisation of transport. The key question for discussion was:
“What would be a credible and politically deliverable framework for the decarbonisation of transport that will deliver the necessary emissions reductions in the shortest time possible whilst mitigating any negative social impacts?”
Agenda – Decarbonising Transport – 3 March
The event included addresses by:
Professor Dieter Helm CBE, Professor of Economics, University of Oxford
Professor Stephen Glaister, Professor of Transport and Infrastructure, Centre for Transport Studies, Imperial College, London
Professor Glenn Lyons, Mott MacDonald Professor of Future Mobility, University of the West of England Bristol
Professor Jillian Anable, Chair in Transport and Energy, Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds
The workshop also featured contributions from other key figures across the sector and a panel discussion at which witnesses made their case for how sustainable transport can contribute to decarbonisation.
