Impacts on infrastructure

Disruptions to transport services

From “just-in-time” to “just-in-case”:

Manage stocks �of goods and parts to cover �for shortages
Source from alternate locations and/or suppliers

from the discussion document Transport Workers and Climate Change: Towards Sustainable, Low-carbon Mobility of the International Transport Federation’s August 2010 Climate Change Conference:

REDUCE

Reduce the need and desire to travel

Major shifts in cities’ land use planning so that people can accomplish more while driving less.

Cities consume 75% of the world’s energy and produce 80% of its greenhouse gases emissions. For the first time in history, over half the world’s population, about 3 billion people, live in cities. The process of urbanisation is also intensifying, particularly in [developing countries]. According to UN projections, in the next 25 to 30 years, virtually all population growth will occur in urban areas.

Reduce the movement of goods

Localisation, and shortening the length of both global and domestic supply chains.

SHIFT

Modal shift 1: Private to public

Passenger cars emit more than half of global transport emissions; therefore reducing the use of personal vehicles is critical to reducing transport emissions. Because short-distance trips (under 3.2 km) make up the majority of private vehicle trips, shifting these trips to public transit and non-motorised mobility is important.

Modal shift 2: shifting from air travel to high speed rail

Modal shift 3: shifting road freight to rail, sea & waterways

Collective bargaining

A strategy for national, provincial and local bargaining.
Shopstewards to engage management to begin to budget for �emissions reductions and training of workers for the transition.
Companies don’t have green policies – this must be included �in all negotiations.
Defend working conditions as companies make low-carbon changes.
Prepare for possible retrenchments by compiling demands now already.
One of these demands must be that any workers that lose their jobs must be reskilled for other work.
If there are retrenchments the companies should help workers to set up cooperatives, and then actively support the cooperatives by buying from them.
Demand that new jobs be decent, not casualised.
