Overview

The session titled Embedding Carbon Management in Active Travel Strategy and Scheme Development will be presented by Josh Hudson-Jaques and Conrad Lindner.

In this session we will discuss the ‘carbon case’ for active travel schemes and unpack the unique considerations and challenges in estimating carbon impacts of such schemes. We will discuss carbon assessment methodologies and best practice carbon management throughout the development of active travel schemes, sharing insights from our extensive experience in tackling carbon challenges in active travel.

The presentation will cover the importance of carbon management and the need for a comprehensive carbon management plan, methods for assessing carbon impacts, benefits and challenges in reducing carbon emissions, and strategies for reducing impacts.
