Evidence-Based Decarbonisation Interventions for Local Authorities
14:45 - 15:15
Decarbonisation
- The Sub-national Transport Bodies have worked together, as well as liaising with DfT, to develop a number of evidence-based carbon calculation tools for use by local authorities.
- The tools are focussed on user emissions and are place based, so provide bespoke outputs for local authorities.
- The presentation will introduce the tools, including transport carbon baseline dashboards; TfN’s Clean Mobility Tool; and the Carbon Assessment Playbook – potentially with short demo’s.
- The Carbon Assessment Playbook, developed by a consortium of STBs including Englands Economic Heartland, Transport for the South East and Transport East, allows users to understand the carbon reduction effects associated with different interventions/policies on bespoke local authority carbon baselines.
15:50
Panel: Decarbonising Roads from Cradle to Grave
15:50 - 16:50
Decarbonisation
- A discussion covering embodied carbon across all lifecycle stages, from design to construction, operation, and end of life.
- With the whole value chain in mind, how can asset owners work towards PAS 2080 and ISO 14001?
