Decarbonising mobility in Cumbria UK

Join us in Carlisle and online on 22 and 23 November 2022 to explore the challenges and opportunities for developing zero-carbon mobility systems. With a focus on Cumbria, researchers, policymakers, youth and community groups and businesses are coming together to ask how place-based innovation can drive change and to share lessons learnt.

22 November (9am to 5:30pm) - Symposium: you are invited to join lively discussions of what might work where, for whom, and why, when it comes to decarbonising mobility in Cumbria, and exchange lessons learnt and knowledge about place-based decarbonising efforts elsewhere.

Mobility

For the Mobile Lives Forum, mobility is understood as the process of how individuals travel across distances in order to deploy through time and space the activities that make up their lifestyles. These travel practices are embedded in socio-technical systems, produced by transport and communication industries and techniques, and by normative discourses on these practices, with considerable social, environmental and spatial impacts.
