WHOLE OF LIFE CARBON

To decarbonise our transport, we first need to measure the whole of life carbon, including from the supply chain, its construction and the road users. By considering it early in the planning stage and then valuing the carbon appropriately, we can inform our decision-making to achieve the best results.

Developing this understanding means that tough decisions can be made where needed to minimise and mitigate the impact of emissions.

Our Carbon Zero framework includes tools to do this which have already been applied across the UK.

CHANGING HOW WE MOVE

Decarbonising transport is more than just switching to electric vehicles. It will take a complete shift in how we think about, plan for, and use transportation. We must adapt to new technologies and transition to different modes of transport, changing from private road use to active transport, mass transport, micro-mobility and electric or zero-emission vehicles.
