Transport Investment: ​ The Zero Carbon Challenge​
By Jonathan Essex and Peter Sims, August 2021
The report quantifies the massive scale of transport infrastructure investment plans across the UK and EU and how this fails to align to existing climate targets. This highlights that whilst heavy goods transport, shipping and aviation are some of the hardest to decarbonise, demand for these transport modes are not being managed or constrained in line with climate commitments. The report is framed ,using the Zero Carbon Policy Toolkit introduced in Green House’s August 2020 report, Trade and Investment Requirements for Zero Carbon.

The report is part of Green House think tanks collaborative Climate Emergency Economy project with the Green European Foundation.
