The Net Zero series: Sustainable Transport
In 2019 the UK became the first major economy to commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to #NetZero by 2050. To meet these goals, we'll have to make major changes to the way we connect people, deliver goods and produce services. What's being done to make these changes happen?
This is the second session in our #NetZero talks series, where experts shed light on the work undertaken by UKRI’s flagship programme -the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund - to help the UK build back greener.
In this session, we're joined by a panel of five experts working at the cutting edge of green transport.
