Low-carbon transition in the transport sector

This research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines modal choices for activities essential to quality of life in Sweden, focusing on how the low-carbon transport transition may disproportionately affect disadvantaged societal groups and impact their lived values.

• To align with the Paris Agreement, the transport sector must undergo transformative changes that include adopting new technologies, decreasing the reliance on fossil-based transport, and expanding the use of active and public transport modes.
• Policies designed to facilitate the low-carbon transport transition may have uneven effects on quality of life, potentially reinforcing or increasing existing societal inequalities.
• Identifying those negatively impacted by the transition requires analyzing various loss categories—such as traditions, places, material objects, and social support networks—based on the lived values and perceptions of the individuals.
