Decarbonising travel: The future of sustainable transport and its impact on mass tourism

  • Michal ApolloSpeaker
  • Anna HughesSpeaker
  • Vanessa GB GowreesunkarChair

61 min · Recorded Fri 6 Nov 2026 · Session 2 of 29

Speaker update, 21 October 2026: Michal Apollo is confirmed as the academic speaker. Anna Hughes, Director of Flight Free UK, has accepted the contribution from practice. Chair: Prof. Vanessa GB Gowreesunkar.

Mass tourism depends on accessible and affordable transport, yet transport accounts for a substantial share of tourism-related greenhouse gas emissions. This webinar compares pathways for decarbonisation across aviation, rail, maritime travel and road transport. It examines technological efficiency, electrification, alternative fuels, operational improvement and measures that influence demand. The analysis will distinguish reductions in emissions per passenger from absolute reductions across the transport system, since growth in travel can outweigh gains achieved through more efficient vehicles or operations.

Chaired by Vanessa GB Gowreesunkar, convened by Prof. Eugenia Wickens.
