The Transport Decarbonisation Plan sets out how the Government intends to work with local government and other key stakeholders to reduce transport emissions by 2050.

While emissions in other sectors have fallen, transport emissions are now the largest contributor to the UK’s carbon footprint. This is one problem we cannot simply build our way out of.

Over 400 local authorities have declared climate emergencies. This is where climate action on transport will happen and where community expectations will lie. Let’s turn strategy into action.

The challenge of transport decarbonisation requires action across all stages of transport development, from policy and strategy through to operation and maintenance.

WSP is your one-stop-shop for insight and technical understanding to help informed decision-making on your transport programme’s carbon footprint across feasibility, development and delivery.

We help you act quickly and decisively to deliver targeted action on embodied and operational emissions and stand by your side to communicate this clearly and effectively to your stakeholders.

 

Improving the understanding of embodied carbon and whole-life carbon emissions of transport policies, projects and programmes is key to unlocking decarbonisation opportunities.

That's why WSP has developed our Carbon Zero appraisal framework to help transport leaders to act quickly and decisively to reduce emissions on their transport projects and portfolios.
