Online Webinar
More Inclusive Sustainability Policies
22 May, 11.00 – 12.00 CET
ACCTING’s research on climate-related topics – ranging from sustainable food and biodiversity to sustainable mobility and energy communities – identified in its Research Agendas a number of key knowledge gaps and research questions which will be promoted to researchers and research funding organisations.
This webinar is part of a series of three webinars that will highlight the project’s future research agendas. Click here to discover the other two webinars!
This webinar will discuss how future research can actively shape sustainability policies and support Green Deal objectives. More concretely, the focus lies on knowledge gaps related to sustainability policies and institutional frameworks, i.e., unanswered questions with regard to the (co-)design of policies, the decision-making processes in policymaking, and ensuring the inclusiveness of policy frameworks. To frame this discussion, the webinar focuses on the following area:
Inclusive and sustainable mobility, focusing on topics in need of further research like the institutional, cultural and political factors that shape the uptake of intersectional approaches in mobility policies and make local authorities either adopt or avoid co-design approaches while designing policies.
An external speaker (see below) will offer their reaction to this research agenda, and share their expert insights. The session is particularly relevant for researchers, civil society actors, and research funding organisations interested in shaping inclusive environmental policies.
Speakers from the ACCTING project
- Dag Balkmar is Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies at Örebro University, Sweden. His current research focuses on transport poverty, mobility justice and sustainable mobility from a gender+/ intersectional perspective.
- Francesca Pugliese is a researcher at Knowledge & Innovation in Rome, currently working on the Horizon 2020 ACCTING project. She has worked on various European-funded projects exploring social inequalities through a gender+ lens.
External speaker
Hélène Bouscasse is a research fellow at INRAE (National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment), where she specialises in spatial and transport economics. Her work focuses on individual behavioural modelling related to residential location, mobility, and health, drawing on interdisciplinary collaborations across social sciences, life sciences, and climate research.
