CPD Accredited: Sustainable travel in the Highlands - In Person

Event No. 1 in our Highland and Islands Net Zero Series

Transport accounted for 35.6% of Scotland’s total greenhouse gas emissions in 2018.  As part of the path to net zero, the Scottish Government has committed to reducing car kilometers by 20 per cent by 2030.

So, sustainable travel is about more than electric cars and electric buses, but how can we reduce reliance on cars in a diverse area like the Highlands?

The Highland Council declared a Climate and Ecological Emergency in 2019 and is committed to reducing the carbon impacts from travel within the Highlands.  It has ambitious plan to encourage active travel (walking, cycling and wheeling) and to increase use of public transport. The Council also working to reduce carbon emissions from its own vehicle fleet.

Come to hear from The Highland Council’s Craig Baxter, Sustainable Transport Team Leader and Roslyn Clarke, Transport Climate Change Co-ordinator about these plans and find out how they will affect your work and life in the Highlands.

This is a hybrid event and is available to attend either in person or via Zoom (click here to attend Zoom). The in person event is being held at Highlands & Islands Enterprise, Inverness and includes a buffet lunch.
