* A thorough exploration of low carbon mobility transitions from a
range of disciplinary and theoretical perspectives; * A broad view
of low carbon transition across travel, transport, tourism and
mobilities studies; * A critical exploration of the global,
regional and local prospects for low carbon mobility transitions; *
Illustrating examples of low carbon transition, from leading
scholars researching in a wide range of geographic contexts.
Arranged in three interrelated sections; People and Place,
Structures in Transition, and Innovations for Low Carbon Mobility,
Low Carbon Mobility Transitions presents nineteen
theoretically-informed, empirically grounded chapters and case
studies that comprehensively address the prospects for global,
regional, and local systemic transitions to low carbon mobility.
Bringing together the work of leading researchers from 26
universities, research centres and consultancies, spanning six
continents, it critically explores the wide-ranging regional
contexts in which a low carbon transition has been, is being, or
can be achieved. In doing so, it highlights the place-specific,
geopolitical and cultural sensitivities of low carbon transitions
at national, regional and local (urban) scales. The overlapping
roles of technological innovation, behaviour change and policy
frameworks are critically examined in this book, providing timely
insights into the opportunities for decarbonising the current
systems of transport, in order to achieve the radical emissions
reductions required to prevent lasting impacts of climate change.
Highlights of the book include: * Multidisciplinary and
interdisciplinary insights into low carbon mobility transitions; *
Research-informed chapters and case studies including a range of
geographic contexts across the global North and South; * New
perspectives on the intersecting and overlapping roles of
technological innovation, behaviour change and policy frameworks; *
Expert assessments of systemic low carbon transition. About the
