Transport - getting to net zero

Transport is the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions on earth. The complex ways we move people and goods around, through both shared infrastructure and private technologies, makes it difficult to transform transport systems – but the rewards are great. This episode explores how sustainable transport often means targeting the need to travel as well as the method. It also looks at examples to show how working directly with local communities to upgrade transport can unlock much bigger social and economic benefits. Featuring interviews with: Professor Jillian Anable – Professor of Transport and Energy, University of Leeds Professor Nick Tyler CBE FREng – Director of UCL Centre for Transport Studies, University College London Professor Alejandro Restrepo – Director of URBAM, Centre for the Study of Urban and Environmental Studies at EAFIT University Medellín Explore the National Engineering Policy Centre’s work on system approaches to decarbonisation: raeng.org.uk/net-zero Discover more about this video series and watch other episodes at: raeng.org.uk/net-zero-videos Reaching net zero by 2050 means we need new ways of working to transform and develop our high-carbon systems of infrastructure. These must engage people from local communities, government, industry and academia in an organised transition of the whole system. Moving to a net zero economy in this way not only helps avert disaster, but also brings real benefits to those involved. This series of five short films from the National Engineering Policy Centre explains why these new approaches are needed, what they are, and how they let us tackle such a complex and broad challenge. The five episodes interrogate in turn: what a systems approach to net zero is, how we can apply it to transforming our infrastructure systems of energy, transport and the built environment, and finally how we bring this understanding together to implement the transition to net zero. The goal to eliminate net emissions from human activities in less than three decades is necessarily ambitious. These videos are intended to be a guide for the people across the world who are responsible for delivering on these targets.
