Transport

Domestic transport was the highest emitting sector of UK greenhouse gas emissions in 2019. The amount of road traffic increased by six per cent, and ownership of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) rose to 25 per cent of the market share.

The LGA Decarbonising Transport Action Learning Sets have brought together councillors and officers from across England to explore how emissions reductions could be achieved using local transport plans and associated transport investments.

This series of briefing notes, developed with experts from the University of Leeds, will help councils with a practical set of actions they can take forward for decarbonisation.

A blog summarising key themes discussed by our speakers at the 'Decarbonising transport' webinar held on 24 January 2023.
