energy security and resource scarcity
greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions
urban planning, transport systems and their management
governance and finance of transformation
·the threats of terrorism and climate change to our transport systems.
Introduced by a preface from U.S. Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu and an outline by the editors, Dr Oliver Inderwildi and Sir David King, Energy, Transport, & the Environment is divided into six sections. These sections address and explore the challenges and opportunities for energy supply, road transport, urban mobility, aviation, sea and rail, as well as finance and economics in transport. Possible solutions, ranging from alternative fuels to advanced urban planning and policy levers, will be examined in order to deepen the understanding of currently proposed solutions within the political realities of the dominating economic areas.
The result of this detailed investigation is an integrated view of sustainable transport for both people and freight, making Energy, Transport, & the Environment key reading for researchers, decision makers and policy experts across the public and private sectors.

ResearchDescriere
Sustainable mobility is a highly complex problem as it is affected by the interactions between socio-economic, environmental, technological and political issues. Energy, Transport, & the Environment: Addressing the Sustainable Mobility Paradigm brings together leading figures from business, academia and governments to address the challenges and opportunities involved in working towards sustainable mobility. Key thinkers and decision makers approach topics and debates including:
· energy security and resource scarcity
· greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions
· urban planning, transport systems and their management
· governance and finance of transformation
· the threats of terrorism and climate change to our transport systems.
Introduced by a preface from U.S. Secretary Steven Chu and an outline by the editors, Dr Oliver Inderwildi and Sir David King, Energy, Transport, & the Environment is divided into six sections. These sections address and explore the challenges and opportunities for energy supply, road transport, urban mobility, aviation, sea and rail, as well as finance and economics in transport. Possible solutions, ranging from alternative fuels to advanced urban planning and policy levers, will be examined in order to deepen the understanding of currently proposed solutions within the political realities of the dominating economic areas.
The result of this detailed investigation is an integrated view of sustainable transport for both people and freight, making Energy, Transport, & the Environment key reading for researchers, decision makers and policy experts across the public and private sectors.

Recenzii
“On a global scale, it is of paramount importance that we bring all countries on board and develop structures that converge towards a new global climate agreement. Locally, we need a paradigm shift: energy & transport sectors must be renewed to meet global emission targets. Oliver Inderwildi and Sir David King have brought together leading thinkers and key decision makers to address how this can happen. This book is key reading for anyone interested in the creation of a low-carbon economy.”
Mikhail Gorbachev, former President of the USSR, Founding President of Green Cross International and Chairman of the Climate Change Task Force.
Humanity is facing the reality of the "economic problem" - infinite desires and finite resources. Economic and societal development has been contingent on the ability of humanity to harvest energy, and the energy resources that have powered development over the past two centuries or more are clearly finite. The implications of this energy crunch are most apparent in the area of modern transport, which underpins everything from where and how we live, to what we eat, to how we interact with one another. "Energy, Transport, and the Environment" faces up to this reality with refreshing frankness. The collection of essays encompasses a catholic range of sources and opinions, but manages to present them in an manner that makes it accessible to the lay reader while retaining the interest and challenging the views of the expert.
