Transport needs in a climate-constrained world. A novel framework to reconcile social and environmental sustainability in transport

摘要: Abstract The amount of energy and carbon emissions that is required to satisfy transport needs in developed countries high, has increased rapidly the past few decades, likely continue do so future. In some contexts, such as car-dependent peri-urban rural areas, satisfaction basic come depend on extensive use carbon-intensive modes. This creates a tension between social environmental sustainability, gives rise justice dilemmas. this article, novel framework proposed conceptualise connections tensions accessibility, one hand, consequences global intergenerational justice, other hand. based integration philosophical (human theory) sociological (structuration perspectives. While human are anthropological invariants, need satisfiers relative, contextual historical. Over time, can become more travel- through unintentional structuration processes. encourages critical look towards how role changed over it might change future, ‘excess travel’ practices pushing envelope needs.
