Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Scottish Government, Aether and Aether Associates are currently undertaking an evidence review of the potential wider impacts of climate change mitigation actions for the transport sector. We would be grateful if you could respond to this call for evidence, and also circulate it to others who may be able to assist.
This is the first ever survey of this kind for the transport sector in the Scottish context. Information relating to the following is required:
- Research on the co-benefits and possible adverse side effects from climate change mitigation related to the transport sector in the Scottish context. Research can cover qualitative and quantitative (e.g. modelling and tools) approaches.
- Research from an equalities perspective, on the evidence base about the potential distribution of wider impacts of transport climate change mitigation, relevant to Scotland.
- Research can cover:
+ all modes of transport;
+ reducing demand for transport;
+ modal shift (to more sustainable modes of transport);
+ lower carbon vehicle technologies;
+ transport network efficiencies;
+ behavioural change aspects relating to the above.
The call complements a review of the existing literature. We are therefore particularly interested in research which is not yet published and forthcoming research programmes.
The project aims to provide a comprehensive synthesis of existing and planned research on transport co-benefits.
The outcomes will help inform RPP3, the Scottish Government's third Report on Policies and Proposals. This report will set out specific measures to meet Scotland's statutory targets to reduce greenhouse gases, as required by the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009. A gap analysis and recommendations for future research will also be provided. Your input will thus make a key contribution to this vital research area.
Information is gathered through a survey format (maximum five minutes of your time) using the link below:
http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/Scottish_Government_Transport_Call_for_Evidence/
This also offers the opportunity for you to upload research files.
The closing date for the survey is 15th August, with early responses appreciated.
Please disseminate this call more widely as appropriate.
If you have any questions on the project or the survey please contact the Aether Project Manager for this study: Alison Pridmore at [log in to unmask] (further details in signature below).
Thank you!
Best wishes
Alison Pridmore
