Event Overview
The event titled "Transport policy in the climate crisis. Time for a radical rethink?" is set to take place on June 25, 2026, at 12 Wellington Place, Leeds. This hybrid gathering aims to address the pressing challenges facing the UK transport system as outlined in the Transport Decarbonisation Plan published by the UK Department for Transport in 2021.
Professor Greg Marsden will present findings from his recent report, which emphasizes the critical need to phase out fossil fuel vehicle sales and the significant emissions associated with manufacturing new vehicles. The report argues that delaying necessary restrictions could exacerbate the climate crisis, potentially doubling the problem.
The event will also explore how investments in sustainable transport can enhance community resilience, health, and economic productivity. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in discussions about innovative approaches to transportation that align with climate commitments.
