Achieving Transitions to Zero Carbon Emissions and Sustainable Urban Mobility

Who is the course for?

This course is designed for anyone, with no prior knowledge or prerequisites required. This course will be particularly useful if you are concerned about reducing transport carbon emissions and want to learn more about sustainable urban mobility and transitions. It will be especially relevant if you are a professional or practitioner in the field

or you are a student interested in the environment and transportation. It is designed to be of value to participants from around the world.

What topics will you cover?

This MOOC will demonstrate (i) how cities can transition their mobility systems to become sustainable, innovative and inclusive and (ii) how they can accelerate to a zero carbon sustainable urban mobility system.

Specifically, the MOOC will highlight:

Why do we need to change our systems? Accelerating Transitions to zero carbon sustainable urban mobility systems matters.

Relevant conceptual & theoretical frameworks (building blocks)

Tools & Methods to support the acceleration

Practical implementation challenges and opportunities

Relevant case studies across the Global North and Global South

What will you achieve?

By the end of the course, you‘ll be able to…

Discuss and develop conceptual and practical understanding of urban mobility transitions and vision zero pathways, through various case study cities

Investigate and assess the development of long-term city visions and vision-led planning

Assess implementation planning and processes and identify enabling factors and barriers to change related to practical implementation planning processes

Explore different planning approaches & tools to support the acceleration of transitions towards zero carbon cities

Engage with practical experiences from a range of urban environments to identify, refect upon and decode problems and challenges for transport and urban systems, from a systems thinking and cross sectoral perspective
