SUMMARY:Making Connections for Climate Action: Urban transport and renewabl
 e energy
DESCRIPTION:Metropolitan regions around the UK and the wider world are pled
 ging to move to net zero carbon emissions on ambitious timescales. With tr
 ansport a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (in the UK transpo
 rt is now the largest source)\, urban transport authorities have a key rol
 e to play in the transition to net zero. Some of the measures that urban t
 ransport authorities can take are solely transport measures\, such as prom
 oting modal shift. However\, others require transport authorities to make 
 better connections with other sectors — connections which are both insti
 tutional and knowledge based in order to realise more opportunities for co
 mplementary cross-sector measures\, and which are capable of delivering gr
 eater carbon reduction benefits than would be the case if the transport se
 ctor worked in isolation. Florian Beiberbach\, CEO of Stadtwerke Munchen\,
  will present the innovative local authority owned utility company that br
 ings together\, amongst other things\, the energy supply and an integrated
  local public transport system. Juliet Davenport\, CEO of Good Energy\, wi
 ll talk about the renewable energy sector in the UK and opportunities for 
 closer links with local transport systems. The subsequent discussion will 
 explore how local institutional and governance arrangements support or hin
 der strategic and project-based cross-sector approaches and the lessons th
 at could be learned. Panellists include Rasita Chudasama\, Principal Trans
 port Planner who is working to join the dots on carbon between transport\,
  energy and the built environment for Nottingham City Council amd Keith To
 wnsend\, Corporate Director of Environment and Regeneration at Islington C
 ouncil. SPEAKERS Florian Bieberbach is the Chief Executive Officer of Stad
 twerke München. Bieberbach is president of CEDEC\, the European Associati
 on of Local Energy Companies\, and vice president of the Chamber of Commer
 ce and Industry for Munich and Upper Bavaria. At TUM School of Management 
 he serves as an honorary professor for energy markets and he is chairman o
 f Forschungsstelle für Energiewirtschaft e.V.\, an energy research instit
 ution. Juliet Davenport is founder and Chief Executive Officer of Good 
 Energy – a renewable energy company with a mission to power a greener\, 
 cleaner future together with its customers. Davenport has been an innovato
 r for over 20 years\, working on ideas to fight climate change and transfo
 rm the energy sector for the better. In 2013\, she was awarded an OBE for
