Book Sustainable Mobility in a Fast Changing World

Download or read book Sustainable Mobility in a Fast Changing World written by Nancy Vandycke and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-11 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our world is changing fast. Countries’ transport systems, which have long been shaped by project-by-project considerations, must help achieve higher-level goals for the well-being of mankind, as embodied by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement. New forces impose greater effectiveness in the way public choices are made, such as making better use of data and technologies, adopting a more inclusive and participatory approach to decision making, and addressing social concerns about equity. Transport practitioners and country decision-makers have been looking for structured and coherent guidance about ways to adjust to these new dynamics and change the trajectory of transport system. This book examines the rationale for and details an innovative approach for public decision-making to expedite the pace to sustainable mobility.

Book Global Roadmap of Action Toward Sustainable Mobility

Download or read book Global Roadmap of Action Toward Sustainable Mobility written by Sustainable Mobility for All and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Roadmap of Action Toward Sustainable Mobility is the culmination of a joint effort by the Sustainable Mobility for All (SuM4All) to develop a comprehensive policy framework to assist decision makers in cities and countries as well as practitioners at development banks to identify gaps, necessary steps, and appropriate instruments to attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and improve the sustainability of their transport sector.On the basis of the imperative established by the Global Mobility Report (2017), the GRA private sector consultations paper and the 6 GRA policy papers (Urban, Rural, Gender, Efficiency, Safety and Green mobility) comes this centerpiece report - embodying the collective knowledge of all 55 SuM4All Member organizations and 180 experts. It was developed through an iterative process to ensure its relevance and practicality. Over 50 policy decision makers at the country and city levels engaged on various drafts and to share their experiences, and more than 25 large corporations were questioned on constraints in the enabling environment to innovate and create the solutions of the future. Donors supporting this effort over an 18-month period included: the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the World Bank and the Michelin Foundation.With this tool in hand, SuM4All is now equipped to engage with decision makers in a new dialogue on mobility and support their transition towards sustainable mobility. The content of this paper has also been made accessible and usable to all in the 'Online Tool Toward Sustainable Mobility' hosted on the SuM4All website

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Private Sector Consultations paper recognizes that as transportation and related industries undergo fundamental changes-fiercer competition with new entrants, multiple exits of traditional actors, new business models, and rapid development of new technologies-change cannot happen without integrating inputs from both public and private actors. Onboarding the private sector in the SuM4All initiative was essential to convey the voice of the business and achieve a successful transformation of mobility. A business consultation, led by Michelin on behalf of the SuM4All Steering Committee, with support of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), Movin'On and Ernst & Young (EY), took the pulse of more than 25 large corporations covering the whole value chain comprising raw materials, transportation services, equipment, digital services, manufacturing, financing services, energy, and consulting. In addition to this, at the annual world summit on sustainable mobility in June 2019, Movin'On organized a special workshop in Montreal. This workshop, dedicated to the Global Roadmap of Action, offered the SuM4All initiative a unique opportunity to get direct outreach to business, and allowed corporations present at Movin'On to add their voice, thus enriching the consultation process. This paper summarizes the outcomes of these engagements.

Book South Africa   s Energy Transition

Download or read book South Africa s Energy Transition written by Tobias Bischof-Niemz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa’s energy transition has become a highly topical, emotive and politically contentious topic. Taking a systems perspective, this book offers an evidence-based roadmap for such a transition and debunks many of the myths raised about the risks of a renewable-energy-led electricity mix. Owing to its formidable solar and wind resources, South Africa has an almost unparalleled opportunity to turn solar photovoltaic and onshore wind generators into the country’s power generation workhorses – a role hitherto played by coal. This book shows that a renewables-led mix will not only provide the lowest cost, but will also create more jobs than any of the alternatives currently under consideration. In addition, it offers a glimpse of how South Africa’s low-cost and decarbonised electricity system can power a competitive industrial economy, an electric-mobility revolution and, in the long run, create new export opportunities. This book will be of great interest to energy industry practitioners, as well as students and scholars of energy policy and politics, environmental economics and sustainable development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting the dynamic relationships between socio-technical behaviour and change, this book presents leading research on the transition process needed to achieve more sustainable transport systems. Focusing on making transition happen, this volume looks at various aspects and factors that are involved in the transition process and their implications for transport policy-making. The concept of Transition Management and how it can be applied to the transport sector is considered in detail, and forms the focus of the first part of the volume. The rest of the book is organised according to the three themes of transport energy use and emissions, the role of information in policy-making, and the evaluation of transport policy. This volume brings together scholars involved in research from various disciplines and countries to discuss the relationships between policy instruments, individual behaviour, institutional practices and the transition towards more sustainable transport systems.
