Call for papers/panels/workshops/exhibitions: Governing the Decarbonisation of Transport
With COP26 fast approaching there is an urgent need for a radical rethink around transport - the one major sector where emissions have remained stubbornly high. Proposals are invited for the DecarboN8 International Conference, https://decarbon8.org.uk/decarbon8-conference/, which will take place online from 13 to 17 September 2021.
https://decarbon8.org.uk/decarbon8-conference/ for a paper, panel, workshop, or exhibition for our online festival of transport decarbonisation (deadline: 10 June). This conference will bring into conversation ideas and evidence from all academic disciplines with practitioner perspectives from the public, private and third sectors.
We enthusiastically welcome proposals from early career researchers and people from groups that are often under-represented in transport and climate (i.e. women, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities).
Stream 4: Governing the Decarbonisation of Transport
This stream invites papers, panels, workshops and exhibitions which tackle questions around building the commitment to urgently deliver a zero-carbon pathway. It addresses both technical analysis which promote the need for a multi-scalar approach to decarbonisation and deals with the scale of ambition required by different actors or places. It also, importantly, invites contributions which explore ways in which communities and businesses have been engaged in co-developing policy and solutions. Proposals should critically engage with existing planning and policy approaches.
. What role have citizen assemblies had on local/regional/national action?
. What influence has declaring a climate emergency had?
. How joined up are action plans across scales and how important is this?
. Is anywhere planning to go fast enough? What is different there?
. How are differences in start points and transport options being taken into account in funding and policy responses?
