Abstract
Place-based decarbonisation is a recognition that, whilst the decarbonisation of transport has to happen everywhere, it is enacted in places. Defining place-based solutions as a strategic priority, as DfT’s Decarbonising Transport: Setting the Challenge does, will have value if it enables the faster and more cost-effective achievement of the prime objective: early and rapid progress to meet the nationwide necessary emissions descent pathway. In this submission we set out some key elements of place-based decarbonisation and set out what we think the full Transport Decarbonisation Plan needs to address to unlock the potential that a place-based approach holds.
