PROJECT STORY
The challenge
Decarbonising transport is a challenge for many regions. Currently transport accounts for the largest share of carbon emissions in the UK and all sectors are dependent on the speed at which we decarbonise our approach to mobility.
Transport for the North’s Decarbonisation Strategy - Clean Growth Review
Supporting Transport for the North with its Decarbonisation Strategy
The solution
We’re bringing clarity to this process and supporting the strategy by working on a ‘gap analysis’ to identify the key actions that TfN can take to decarbonise.
The impact
Through our analysis, TfN have clear action points and confidence that the right opportunities have been identified.
The challenge
Decarbonising transport is an ambition and a challenge for many regions and local areas. The ambition comes from national and regional policies, the desire to act on climate change and to take advantage of the economic progress that can flow from these activities. The challenge lies in managing the sometimes-competing policy demands and funding priorities within economic cycles.

The solution
TfN’s vision is to provide a thriving North of England where world class transport supports sustainable economic growth, excellent quality of life and improved opportunities for all. Investment in pan-northern strategic transport improvements will increase productivity, create jobs, and enhance the overall impact of the Northern Powerhouse on the UK economy. A key challenge is to facilitate this growth in a sustainable and equitable manner.

The impact
Any new decarbonisation strategy needs to be able to draw on knowledge and understanding of not only current policy but also incorporate the ability to look ahead and assess the trends, globally, nationally and locally which will drive tomorrow’s policy and funding opportunities. With our research and development of the gap analysis, TfN have clear action points that they can now take forward as recommendations to central government with clarity and have confidence in the knowledge that these clean growth strategies have identified the right gaps through our outside in approach and are future-proofed.
