Where does the UK most need more public EV chargers? theconversation.com/where-does-t... Well done Labib and Hannah @ecioxford.bsky.social @tsuoxford.bsky.social #electricvehicles #climatebreakdown

Interesting-looking new study finding that "mode shift alone represents only 1/5th of the potential GHG benefits of increasing active transportation in a way that also reduces trip lengths through destination changes" doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

JUST DROPPED: The latest Climate Change Committee progress report is out, and the top 5 recommendations are all about cutting energy demand. 🧵

Today is #WorldBicycleDay 🚲 Did you know❓ Cycle lanes count for just 0.2% of the current road infrastructure. It’s time to demand safer streets that put the health & safety of pedestrians and cyclists first 👉bit.ly/4jPzXsa

Good thread on the role of low energy demand scenarios in decarbonisation 👇

Not news or surprising, but a worthy reminder: "The most powerful actions a person can take to cut their carbon pollution include getting rid of a petrol [or diesel] car, eating less meat and avoiding flights." Paper: www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminst... Artice: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Transport must decarbonise fast and fairly. This new UKERC report pulls together two decades of critical evidence to support better policy, planning and investment. Essential reading for anyone shaping the future of mobility. @profchristianbrand.bsky.social ukerc.ac.uk/publications...

🚀 It’s finally here! We analyzed over a year of operations from 1.6 million EVs in China: 🔹 Usage patterns across different EV fleet types 🔹 Charging behaviors by power type & fleet category 🔹 Spatio-temporal dynamics of EV charging demand rdcu.be/ecadc. #EVs #EnergySystems @yuanliao.bsky.social

If 10 percent of the population replaced one car trip a day with a bike ride, carbon from transportation could drop an estimated 10 percent -> www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... www.geoweeknews.com/news/mode-sw...

PREPRINT ALERT : www.preprints.org/manuscript/2... E-Cargo Bikes as a Personal Transport Mode in the UK: Insights from National Surveys and Suburban Trials. We present wide ranging insights from our study of domestic use of e-cargo bikes in the UK. @micromobility-its.bsky.social

“The study demonstrated that for some people, at certain life stages, e-cargo bikes represent a realistic and desirable form of mobility, with the potential to reduce car use and associated emissions.” Fascinating & useful study👇

Heathrow & Gatwick airport expansions “… are more likely to divert money away from high streets, the domestic tourism industry and foundational economies across the UK than they are to produce any “useful” sort of growth.”

Our study on UK's wealthiest & climate action has been published, and has been covered by @theguardian.com. Rich Britons have the potential to lead on climate action, but need to cut their own excessive emissions. #ClimateAction #Inequality www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Good illustration of the alternative options available to the government when considering how to approach decarbonisation of surface transport. Shows car-kms travelled per capita in latest CCC advice against ‘positive low energy futures’ (ie scenarios that are demand-led)

We have also written a piece in @theconversation.com summarising the key findings, that is available from here: theconversation.com/will-the-uks...

Excellent analysis of the (only one) CCC CB7 pathway - and positive alternative pathways that make so much more sense

Beh oui! La révolution du vélo : une solution économique et écologique pour transformer nos déplacements "une personne qui passait de la voiture au vélo juste une fois par semaine économisait 3,2kg de CO₂" -> doi.org/10.1016/j.tr... -> www.environnement-magazine.fr/mobilite/art...

Is the @thecccuk.bsky.social analysis of just one main pathway taking account of this I wonder? Expanding Heathrow is incompatible with net zero – here’s the evidence theconversation.com/expanding-he...

Nice summary, thanks. I usually like and respect what the @thecccuk.bsky.social are doing but we can't keep relying on the technology fix in transport. There is ample evidence that across mobility and transport we need some serious (20-50%) demand reduction h/t @jilliananable.bsky.social

Countries that weaken or stop their #netzero and #climate actions may be consigning their populations to decades of preventable #airpollution illness. My latest for @theguardian.com on research led by Imperial College London. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Rolling back on climate actions may spell rise in preventable illness due to more toxic air pollution and less active lifestyles Thanks for the great writeup of our study, @drgaryfuller.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1016/j.en... @theguardian.com piece: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Swapping just 5-7% of car journeys for e-biking, cycling or walking could add 1.1 million years of healthy life. Benefits come from getting people more active, especially in areas where walking and cycling are less common." New OA papers: 1. doi.org/10.1016/j.en... 2. doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

YESSSS!

“Swapping just 5-7% of car journeys for e-biking, cycling or walking by 2030 could add 1.1m years of healthy life by 2050.” Lots of news in the Guardian on climate crisis and environment. Features our new paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.en... www.theguardian.com/environment/...
