You’re invited to join NZTA for a webinar and discussion on Transition Planning. As always, please feel free to send this on to your colleagues.
Transportation underpins our society, connecting people, cities, economies and fostering growth and employment. Yet as millions of us move within and between cities and countries every single day, transport is the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions in Aotearoa.
Given transport’s tangible role in modern society, and the changes we know we need to make, is transport our trojan horse for sparking a wider transition to sustainability? How best to reimagine our approach to transport and mobility in this moment, to stretch beyond traditional silos and help energise our efforts across cities, urban spaces and thriving communities as we co-create a 21st century society?
When: 13 August, 8.30 – 10am
Where: Online
Cost: Free
Join us in welcoming Professor Jan Rotmans and Professor Susan Krumdieck for a discussion on enabling and accelerating transportation transition.
Sustainable Transition expert Professor Jan Rotmans is virtually touring New Zealand with the Aotearoa Transition Launchpad Series. Professor Rotmans was a lead member in the Netherlands’ 2016 society-wide process to craft a transformational living vision and plan, called Roadmap Next Economy (RNE), for Rotterdam-The Hauge. Together, we will be learning about the process of how to ‘plan’, enable, and support transition thinking and evolution; Transport/Urban Transitions & also some of the insights into how to spark/maintain momentum and navigate the organic process of transition.
Professor Susan Krumdieck is focused on defining wicked problems using the InTIME methodology to deal with them, with a focus on accelerating transport transition by working from the ground up.
We’ll have an opportunity to hear from our guest speakers, with some time for questions and discussion after.
This session is part of the Aotearoa Transition Launchpad Series: `Stretch the possible – how to empower and accelerate the shift to a low-carbon, just society and next economy’. Are you a change maker keen to help with developing this series? Get in touch!
