Net carbon zero policies for automobility have resulted in a range of problems, including squandered public subsidies, exploitative and unsustainable consumption of scarce mineral resources, social inequality in access to mobility, and the continued domination of our urban environments by inappropriate vehicles.
Professor Peter Wells from Cardiff Business School discusses these problems in an informative webinar for policy makers and politicians. He will argue that net carbon zero policies for automobility are a failure of policy and politics, and he will call for a new approach to mobility that is based on public transport, walking, and cycling.
Our Informing Policy webinar programme provides a space for Cardiff University academics to speak directly with policy-makers on a variety of topics where their research expertise can inform policy development. As well as hearing insights from research and reflections from practioners at the front-line, attendees can also contribute to the discussion through a Q&A under Chatham House rules to allow for honest, open debate.
