This year the campaign will focus on planning and delivering for a rapid and equitable transition to a decarbonised transport system. As we start to transition to a decarbonised model, equity will be fundamental to not marginalise groups of people or accentuate existing inequalities.

The current cost of living crisis is increasing existing disparities in our society, including transport provision. People on lower-incomes contribute the least to CO2 emissions, while being impacted the most by the effects of climate change. They must not face the worst of the impacts.

But a just transition also provides an opportunity to distribute the benefits of good transport connectivity more evenly between, and within regions across the UK. For example, by increasing local accessibility through land-use planning, supporting active travel and improving local public transport services.

Throughout the campaign we will explore and highlight how transport planners, with support from the government, can tackle the socio-economic problems that arise from the transition to a zero-emission network, and the role transport planners will play in planning and delivering this transition.
