Manifesto for Decarbonising Transport

Claire  Haigh is CEO of Greener Transport Solutions and former Chief Executive of Greener Journeys, the sustainable transport group. She also chairs the Delivery & Impacts Independent Review Panel for the Government’s Joint Air Quality Unit (DfT/Defra); is a Director and Vice Chair of the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership (Low CVP); is Executive Director of the Transport Knowledge Hub and has been a Board Member of Transport for Greater Manchester. She writes a monthly column for Passenger Transport and writes regularly for Transport Times.

Greener Transport Solutions has received grant funding from the Foundation for Integrated Transport to create a Manifesto for Decarbonising Transport.  This work will be aimed at developing a credible and deliverable framework for decarbonising transport whilst mitigating any negative social impacts. It is intended that the project will build a broad coalition of support for some of the politically challenging solutions needed if we are to achieve our carbon reduction targets.
