We’ve had Elvis Specials, Star Wars day events, Futurism, Maker day specials so for this episode of Ignite Liverpool we welcome talks that are going to help us address some of the specific issues on the climate emergency. You know the score.

Today in most countries, it is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine our lives with fewer, or without, cars.

But imagine – and take action – we must.

In 2019, our council declared a ‘climate emergency’ and said that everyone must now work together to meet the ‘challenge of an impending ecological disaster by making Liverpool a Net Zero Carbon city by 2030’.

Transport is the second-largest contributor to the city’s carbon emissions and, according to the council’s own transport report, we need many more people to switch from driving their own cars to walking, wheeling or public transport.

Data collected before the pandemic found that most car trips made in the city region – totalling 300 million journeys – were less than three miles. That’s just 15 minutes on a bike.

So what would Merseyside with fewer cars look like? And how do we get there?
