Abstract

In this chapter I consider how the concept of climate justice can align with decarbonizing urban transportation, and propose a research and action agenda for geographers, scholars, and allied professions concerned with climate, transport, and the future. Climate justice refers to the distribution of the burdens and benefits of climate change impacts and mitigation for individuals, nations, and generations. Urban transportation refers to the modes of travel within cities and metropolitan areas, for both people and goods, such as passenger cars and trucks, bicycles, walking, public transport, and the commercial vehicles servicing cities. In what follows, I outline how urban transportation today is not currently aligned with climate justice and provide some ideas for research on how to align climate justice and urban transportation.
