The impacts of climate change present significant challenges for the development, sustainability and resilience of cities. Decarbonising transport is vital to prospects of mitigating dangerous climate change but requires changes in travel, which will affect people’s lives.

On this two-week course from RMIT University, you’ll explore the question: how do we understand and influence human behaviour and choices for low-carbon mobility? Through innovative solutions, case studies, and experts in the field, by the end of this course, you should start to formulate an answer.

Disover the structural, cultural, and psychological factors influencing behaviour

Travel behaviour is influenced by a range of interdependent factors, from structural factors such as how cities are built to a person’s personal values.

You’ll explore the many different factors involved in people’s transport decisions, including current policies and the often difficult logistics of using low-carbon transport.

Discover innovative solutions aiming to change transport behaviour

A large aspect in driving positive change, especially when it comes to transport behaviours, is the policies and mechanisms surrounding transport and how they can more favourable conditions.

This course will guide you through some of the innovative policy changes hoping to create a greener future by improving the ease of using low-carbon transport.
