The way we travel and move goods has a significant impact on our environment. Transport connects our communities and supports everyday life, but it also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, noise and the loss or fragmentation of natural habitats.

Climate change means we need to think differently about how we get around. Walking, cycling, public transport, shared travel and lower-emission vehicles can all play a part in reducing environmental impacts, while better planning and greener transport infrastructure can help create healthier, more connected communities.

There are many ways we can make a difference, from choosing active or shared travel where possible to reducing unnecessary journeys, making more efficient use of vehicles and supporting improvements to local transport.

Below, you’ll find useful organisations, advice and sources of support to help you understand the links between transport, nature and climate change, and explore practical ways to travel more sustainably.
