Putting the brakes on climate change. A policy report on road transport and climate change

This report is part of IPPR's Motoring Towards Sustainability programme which is examining the role of the car in progressive and environmentally sustainable transport policy. Putting the Brakes on Climate Change is the third publication from the Motoring Towards Sustainability programme. In 2002 IPPR published the Streets Ahead report which analysed the relationship between deprivation and child pedestrian casualties in Britain. In June 2003 IPPR published the Tomorrow's Low Carbon Cars report which examined how government can help to drive innovation and long term investment in low carbon car technologies and fuels. This report can be downloaded from the IPPR web-site at www.ippr.org . In 2004 IPPR will be publishing a further report on the role that road user charging could play in helping to reduce traffic congestion.
