The CATCH project is
holding its final conference on 13 December 2011 in the University of West of
England in Bristol, UK. This EU FP7 project conducted ground-breaking research
into how information about climate change and transport should be communicated,
and has developed an online knowledge platform designed to facilitate an
holistic view of transport in order to better communicate the need for low
carbon transport systems, and plan for the low carbon transport future.
The final conference will present research from the project, and present the
CATCH knowledge platform in the context of a variety of co-benefits that a low
carbon transport will bring to health, safety, the economy and to planning. It
will be demonstrated how the CATCH knowledge platform links to these different
areas by providing information and improving communication between the general
public and transport professionals. Presentations from experts from different
fields will also detail the wider benefits of a low carbon transport future.
Who will attend?
- Transport professionals interested in low carbon transport systems: city
representatives, public transport operators, consultants, and others.
- Climate change experts with an interest in transport.
- Professionals from other disciplines which can benefit from low carbon
transport systems: for example from health or civil society.
