Last week UAP Assistant Professor Ralph Buehler gave an invited presentation at a conference on “Policy Change for Sustainable Transport” at the Institute of Transport Economics (TOI) at the University of Oslo, Norway. The conference was held at the Oslo Centre for Interdisciplinary Environmental and Social Research and centered around 11 presentations by invited academics from universities in the USA, the UK, the Netherlands, Italy, Finland, Sweden, and Norway (list of all presentations see below). All presentations explored policies that have successfully promoted sustainable transport in the various countries. Ralph’s presentation focused on sustainable transport in Germany and showed how that car-oriented country successfully reduced CO2 emissions and increased sustainability of the passenger transport sector by encouraging more trips by foot, bicycle, and public transport.
