Our work in the UK
We’re advocating for cleaner urban transport in cities across the UK, supported by a strong network of partners.
OUR AREAS OF FOCUS
Clean Cities is a bridge between city dwellers and city leaders, creating the conditions for change to happen.
Despite big reductions in other sectors, carbon emissions from transport have remained stubbornly high in the UK for the past thirty years.
This is partly because of expensive public transport and an increasing number of large cars on the roads. The UK also has record levels of diesel vans, which is threatening the government’s ambitious drive towards electrification and net zero.
In the UK, we’re focussing on city policies that:
Reallocate space for people & greenery
Enable more people to walk, wheel and cycle
Improve public transport & shared mobility
Prioritise and promote electric vehicles
