Description
An updated version of a session delivered to senior civil servants this summer, Glenn Lyons from UWE Bristol's Centre for Transport, will outline the challenges posed by our changing climate to the UK Transport system and will explore the solutions needed to make it more resilient.
A topic of vital importance to the future of the country, this talk will be of interest to all, whether professionals in the field or those who simply want to find out more.
