AET Transport & Mobility Forum - FREE Webinar
AET Transport and Mobility Forum invite you to the webinar:
Transitioning to Net-Zero
FREE Webinar: Thursday, 4 January 2024 11.00-12.00 CET / 10.00-11.00 UTC
2023 saw many European countries become less ambitious about their ‘race to net-zero’ in transport, citing the cost-of-living crisis. In difficult times people cling to what they know so if we are too slow in delivering more equitable societies, and economies with better environments discontent will continue to grow.
In the first AET webinar of 2024 we will review how we manage transitions to sustainable transport against a backdrop of current economic challenges and divided societies. We have brought together an outstanding panel of leading experts for this webinar which will include Professor Susan Krumdieck, Professor Glenn Lyons and Dr Elisabete Arsenio, and they will lead us through the leading thinking on transitions followed by an open discussion about how to apply this thinking in our day-to-day practice.
Many people fear changes required for sustainability as something that will cause inconvenience, curtail their freedom or cost them too much. The webinar will consider how to overcome triggers for fears and reluctance to change, both within the profession and with the wider population.
The FREE webinar is organised by the AET Transport and Mobility Forum and will be hosted on the Zoom platform. It will be chaired by Derek Halden from the AET Transport and Mobility Forum.
