Climate change is presenting an urgent imperative to decarbonise transport. Decarbonising different transport modes is complex, the impacts of decarbonisation will be different for different groups of people and for different places.
Sarah will outline the work that is taking place to accelerate the decarbonisation of transport and consider how considerations of people and place intersect with delivery of greener transport.
