Energy Futures Lab Lecture Series: Professor Sarah Sharples

Low Carbon Cities and Transport
Transport has a key role in reducing carbon in cities. In this presentation, Sarah will consider the wider context of transport decarbonisation, and specifically consider some of the challenges and opportunities presented for transport decarbonisation in cities. Drawing on work which is exploring changes in fuels, changes in travel patterns, and the impact of carbon in infrastructure as well as transport operations, Sarah will highlight the need to take a whole systems and human-centred approach to transport for low carbon cities
