Oxford University has published an article about some of our key findings from the ITEM project, and how co-evaluating policy mixes with policymakers and other stakeholders can help shift our approach and encourage a more just transition.
The article is in part a public farewell to a project where I had the privilege of collaborating with and learning from a wide array of policymakers, stakeholders, and fellow researchers. In it, I share some insights learned from those who are working hard to deliver a more inclusive transition to electric mobility in Bristol.
However, that’s not quite the end. The insights gathered from comparing policymaking for electric mobility across Bristol, Oslo, Poznan and Utrecht are still winding their way through to become a number of academic publications. One I led considers the different approaches local policymakers take to make electric mobility more inclusive whilst reconciling tensions between national aims for EV adoption and urban targets to reduce car use. But perhaps more on that when it is accepted for publication!
