Key facts

Overview

The Course examines the complex relationships between contemporary transport, global energy dynamics, and global environmental change. Detailed sessions will discuss climate change and adaptation, transitions to sustainable energy systems and policy scenarios and evaluation. The course additionally explores historical trends in carbon-intensive transport in different global regions through the use of innovative ‘visioning’ and ‘backcasting’ techniques’. Case studies will be used to explore the extent to which the adverse environmental consequences of such mobility might be mitigated, and how contemporary transport systems might be made more resilient in the face of rapid climate change.

Key speakers include: Prof. David Banister (TSU, Oxford University); Prof. Peter Taylor (University of Leeds); Dr Robin Hickman (UCL) and Dr Christian Brand (TSU, Oxford University).

The Energy and Climate Change Course is a part of the Leadership Programme on Global Challenges in Transport Programme. This comprises six three-day courses that stand independently, but are complementary, forming a coherent whole. Each course is certified and fully CPD-accredited by the Chartered Institute for Transport and Logistics (UK). Delegates can register for any number of courses, and when all six are booked at the same time the final one is free. Organisations making multiple bookings for their staff should enquire about our group discounts - please email Dr. Karen Lucas for further information.

Each course of the Oxford Leadership Programme is accredited by CILT (UK) for 25 hours Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
