The transportation sector is one of the biggest contributors to global carbon emissions. But in our globalized economy, the need for safe, fast and reliable transportation isn’t going away. Any path toward carbon neutrality has to include a strategy that enables people to move freely without compromising the environment. It needs to make transportation more accessible, efficient and sustainable.  This episode features Emma Head, Technical Service Delivery Director at HS2; Alexander Ståhle, PhD Urban Design, CEOat  Spacescape, Founder at Placetoplan; and Ståle Rød, Executive Vice President at Skanska Group.  Each of these leaders describes ways they are working to make a positive impact on sustainable transportation: - Emma explains the HS2 project — a UK high-speed railway — and how it is connecting the UK, while decarbonizing transportation.   - Alexander describes how smart urban design can both eliminate our reliance on fossil-fuel transportation and improve quality of life.  - Ståle offers examples of technological innovations that can help decarbonize transportation infrastructure during its construction.
