"True to its roots, Sustainable Mobility in a Fast-Changing World takes readers through the dynamics shaping our world today and in the future, and what can be done to help ensure a brighter future for all through sustainable mobility." -Sustainable Mobility for All Steering Committee "We all contribute to unsustainable mobility and this new systematic guidance provides a clear framework within which to compare, debate and decide on effective action. This book will help all countries facilitate progress towards sustainable mobility." -David Banister, Professor Emeritus of Transport Studies, University of Oxford, UK "The authors' expertise in the field is a great resource and solid foundation for the development of a much-needed new approach to transport, which highlights the importance of multi-stakeholder partnerships between and across local, national governments, and other sectors." -Mauricio Rodas Espinel, former Mayor of Quito Our world is changing fast. Countries' transport systems, which have long been shaped by project-by-project considerations, must help achieve higher-level goals for the well-being of mankind, as embodied by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement. New forces impose greater effectiveness in the way public choices are made, such as making better use of data and technologies, adopting a more inclusive and participatory approach to decision making, and addressing social concerns about equity. Transport practitioners and country decision-makers have been looking for structured and coherent guidance about ways to adjust to these new dynamics and change the trajectory of transport system. This book examines the rationale for and details an innovative approach for public decision-making to expedite the pace to sustainable mobility. Nancy Vandycke designs and manages sustainable infrastructure initiatives at the World Bank, is author of the award-winning Sustainable Mobility for All program and has a PhD in Economics from the London School of Economics, UK. José M. Viegas is Professor Emeritus at the University of Lisbon, Portugal and methodological coordinator of the Global Roadmap of Action.

This volume brings together some of the leading names in global aviation policy research to provide a unique and ground breaking synthesis of current debates on sustainable aviation. Unlike previous edited works, this volume is inter-disciplinary and international in nature, drawing on the work of social scientists, transport specialists, and policy experts working in the domains of academia, direct action, and regulation to inform understandings of the prospects for sustainable aviation. Uniquely, the title explores the context of the challenge and examines both scenarios and coalitions for change.
