Workshop 1 | Energy Production and Energy Efficiency
How should the transport sector manage energy? What opportunities are there for energy production and energy efficiency? Join the discussion on this topic. We’ll talk about the most effective measures for energy production and energy efficiency, but also about funding opportunities, maximizing the return on investment and obtaining institutional support.
Facilitator: Kevin Leather, Regional Manager - North of England, Mott MacDonald
Workshop 2 | Collaborating to Achieve Carbon Reduction
How can transport organisations work together across different geographical areas and themes to reduce carbon? How can we develop delivery models that include multiple organisations and stakeholders? We will use the Greater Manchester Low Carbon Hub as an example. Come and learn how to deliver carbon reductions across different geographical areas and environmental themes, and how we have developed links with government departments.
Facilitator: Mark Atherton, Director General, Environment, Greater Manchester Low Carbon Hub

Workshop 3 | Reducing Carbon by Encouraging More Sustainable Transport Choices
Learn how to encourage populations to switch to walking, cycling and public transport to reduce carbon footprint and improve health. This discussion will tackle several related topics such as increasing the appeal of public transport and how to translate environmental awareness into behaviour change.
Facilitator: Lee Parker, Director, Parose Projects, London
