"With walking and cycling funding halved in the government’s recently released
National Land Transport Programme, and a weaker transport emissions reduction
plan, the potential health benefits of a low-carbon transport system have hit a
real speed bump.
This is a pity, because one of the great promises of low-carbon transport is
the health improvements that can accompany certain policy choices. Health is
tangible, while decarbonisation policy is often complex and highly technical.
People care deeply about health, both physical and mental.
However, we are now faced with climate and transport policy options that will
have radically different implications for health.
To explore this, we looked at two distinct future transport pathways described
by the Climate Change Commission. We found the choices New Zealand makes now
will be crucial to improving people’s lives in the near future."
