Will clean transport work for everyone?
Globally, as we make the transition toward a low-carbon transport sector, how can we make our transport systems work for everyone? In this episode, Dr Michelle Dickinson is joined by Maria Herdanti and Harriet Cooney UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, part of the Indonesia-UK Pact Programme, and Safiah Moore our Cities, Planning and Design Lead in Indonesia. Together they explore how low-carbon transport projects can also tackle issues around access, gender, equality and social inclusion.
“Working with people there are innovations we can achieve and new things we can learn to ensure people have access to public transport that is safer, accessible and provides a positive experience. ”
Maria Herdanti Programme Manager, British Embassy Jakarta, UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Indonesia
“When you look at some of these big challenges like climate change and clean transport there is a never a one-size-fits-all solution – it's about starting small, understanding the different needs of people and looking through a human lens. ”
Harriet Cooney Deputy Head, Low Carbon Infrastructure, British Embassy Jakarta, UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Indonesia
“Peoples experiences and perceptions shape their behaviours and carbon footprints. Looking at quantitative data alongside people experiences is essential to shape equitable and impactful investments. ”
