The Road to Decarbonisation: Urban Mobility and EV Supply Chains with Lina Fedirko

Climate Confident

Send me a message

Hi everyone, Tom Raftery here with another episode of the Climate Confident Podcast. This time, I'm joined by Lina Fedirko, Associate Director on the Road Transportation team at ClimateWorks Foundation. Lina dives deep into the complexities of decarbonising road transportation and highlights innovative urban mobility solutions, like congestion pricing and low emission zones, that cities are adopting globally.
We also explore the critical role of responsible mineral supply chains in the energy transition. Lina explains how sustainable practices in mineral extraction and recycling are essential to support the growing demand for EVs and renewables. She shares fascinating insights on how policy, behaviour change, and strategic collaborations can drive a cleaner, greener future.
Tune in to understand the multifaceted challenges and opportunities in creating a sustainable transportation system and the importance of a holistic approach to managing mineral resources. Whether you're a policy wonk, an EV enthusiast, or just curious about sustainable practices, this episode offers valuable takeaways for everyone.
