Towards Transport Net Zero

About this book

Achieving Net Zero is a wicked problem that is not just a question of applying technological innovation to existing transport patterns and behaviours. It involves all three aspects of the environmental, social and economic sustainability triangle and any attempt to significantly reduce transport's CO2 emissions will involve major technological and behavioural changes – indeed, a fundamental rethink of existing expectations. Any approach needs also to be politically achievable, promoting opportunities for improving quality of life while not evading the issues at hand.

This 20th volume in the Transport and Sustainability series focuses on Net Zero transport, providing a go-to source of information for policymakers, businesses, scholars and students alike. The contributors discuss the nature and scale of the issues associated with moving towards net zero transport, along with the opportunities for positive and transformational change. The chapters in Towards Transport Net Zero address the topic from a range of different perspectives including different transport modes, policy areas, social and demographic considerations and economic sectors.

The Transport and Sustainability series addresses the important nexus between transport and sustainability, containing volumes dealing with a wide range of issues relating to transport, its impact in economic, social and environmental spheres and its interaction with other policy sectors.
