More about the speaker

The Human Library aims to establish a positive framework and safe space for dialogue between readers and a Human Book. The concept is based on personal conversation rather than a presentation or lecture. It is not just a story, it鈥檚 an engagement and interaction, a Q&A from a lived perspective.

The Human Library helps to overcome stigma, combat prejudice, dismantle stereotypes, inform ignorance, clarify misconceptions, debunk myths, end discrimination, and challenge negative attitudes through conversations with Human Books.

Join us every Wednesday between 2pm and 3pm in the PG Hub to grab some tea, coffee or fruit and speak to us and members of Wellbeing Support Services!

Speaker: Dr Craig Morton (Loughborough University)

Time and Venue: 13 Nov 2019, 4-6pm, Ramphal Building R1.03, University of 糖心TV

Abstract: Over the past 30 years, significant strides have been made in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of the United Kingdom, with all sectors bar one making a contribution. Emissions originating from the transport system have proven difficult to mitigate given the lack of palatable alternatives and a reluctance to alter mobility patterns. This presentation will discuss two approaches to promoting environmental sustainability in transport. The first is vehicle fleet renewal, where low emission propulsion systems gradually replace internal combustion engines. The second is behavioural change, where citizens are encouraged to shift away from unsustainable modes of transport (e.g. single occupancy short distance car trips) towards greener options. To showcase these approaches, the presentation will display the insights that can be derived from spatial modelling and time series analysis applied to understand the factors that are linked with vehicle fleet renewal and behavioural switching.
