Health - Climate - Transport Nexus: Dissemination of Policy Messages
Wellcome Trust
SLOCAT Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport
Tackling transport emissions has positive impacts. The benefits of transforming mobility paradigms spans across the notion of planetary health that includes human health and the health of our planet. Whether it is curbing emissions, reducing deaths in road crashes, enabling healthy lifestyles, supporting mental health with reclaimed streets or better integrating spatial and transport planning; the transport-air pollution-health-climate nexus is a multiplier. Aim: Strengthening the nexus to advance two complementary objectives by March 2022: • Capitalise on the interdependence between the enablers and disruptors of transport systems transformation and health to influence climate action policy and investment frameworks. • Facilitate medium-, long-term strategic collaborations beyond the transport community. Intended Outcomes • Mutually-reinforcing benefits of transport, health & well-being and climate action better understood. • Economies of scale and costs of inaction soundly established and clearly communicated. • Structured collaboration between a diverse group of experts, thought leaders and policy-makers. • Transport policies and investments defined with an integrated look at health implications and vice-versa. Target Audience • Policy makers, sectors associations, knowledge and academia, governments, multilateral organisations, NGOs, philanthropy and industry • Global, national and local level actors engaged in the international processes on climate change and sustainability (e.g. COP26 and the Second UN Conference on Sustainable Transport).
