The COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s war on Ukraine have impacted the global economy, including energy sector. caused drastic fluctuations in demand, oil price shocks, disruptions supply chains, hampered investments, while left world with hikes security challenges. long-term impacts of these crises low-carbon transitions mitigation climate change are still uncertain but slowly emerging. This paper analyzes throughout system, upstream fuel supply, renewable demand for services, implications equity, by reviewing recent studies consulting experts field. We find that both initially appeared as opportunities transitions: showing extent lifestyle behavioral a short period role science-based policy advice, highlighting need greater diversification reliance local, sources. However, early evidence suggests policymaking worldwide is focused short-term, seemingly quicker solutions, such supporting incumbent industry post-pandemic era to save economy looking new fossil routes enhancing following war. As such, may emerge even stronger after creating lock-ins. implies public sentiment against dependency fuels end lost opportunity translate into actions toward climate-friendly transitions, without ambitious plans phasing out altogether. propose recommendations overcome challenges achieving resilient sustainable systems, mostly driven services.

In this paper we investigate the public transport trip frequency variations, as well reasons that led to shift away from means, due COVID-19 pandemic. We studied relevant data Moovit platform, and compared operational characteristics of systems before after outbreak pandemic in 87 cities worldwide. On average, waiting times at stops/stations increased while distances decreased, apparently mobility restriction social distancing measures implemented 2020. Most users who said they abandoned 2020 were found Italy Greece. developed linear regression analysis models (among 35 variables examined study) relationship between abandonment rates socioeconomic factors, quality service characteristics, indicators pandemic's spread. Empirical findings show dropout are positively correlated with death toll figures, cleanliness vehicles facilities, income inequality (GINI) index population, thus reconfirm previous research findings. addition, time number transfers required for commute trips appeared be most critical segments, which significantly determine discontinuation use under circumstances. Our indicate specific aspects services, require tailored adjustments order recover ridership post-pandemic period.

Governments all over the world have had to implement various policy measures in order curb spread of COVID-19, impacting many people's lives and livelihoods. Combinations targeting transportation sector other aspects social life been implemented with varying degrees success different countries. This paper proposes a classification COVID-19 aimed at passenger mobility. We distinguish categories "avoidance travel", "modal shift" "improvement quality". Per category, we types effects (social, economic environmental). Next, review literature on for mobility, after which discuss relevance our findings propose research agenda. conclude that broad or integral assessments socially relevant are rare. Also, few studies exist determine individual deal combinations instead. Studies focus partial direct (e.g. turnover transport sector, effect mobility commuter traffic) do not elaborate indirect changes household expenditure, stress levels). Finally, there is greater intermediary health indicators travel behaviour) but less actual indeed due air pollution, more exercise, etc).

This is first work that systematically evaluates 'public acceptance' as proxy for 'policy success' 'potential longer-term viability' of high-profile sustainable intervention package introduced 2020 capital city Greece known Great Walk Athens (GWA). achieved through twin statistical analysis an e-survey looked into attitudes mobility experiences Athenians accessing area trial daily. The research enabled comparison between pre- post-implementation traffic situations provided details about specific measures packaged GWA project. Our results suggest walking cycling uptake were only marginally improved. Traffic delays car users considerable. Car usage declined somewhat, with exception ride-sharing.

In recent years, urban planners have mentioned the importance of implementing alternative city models that encourage short trips and neighborhood-scale activities such as 15-minute model. Several studies show improvements in transportation networks citizens to move themselves into their neighborhoods' borders. People seem respond these actions by increasing visits many local places restaurants, bars, sports centres etc. Even though during post-covid era, people decreased significantly movements, it is vital creation friendly for walking inside neighborhoods cities, based on concept Large cities are becoming bigger they offer job opportunities. However, massive peoples' relocation big has a result huge problems. Neighborhoods been downgraded were not ready several services larger populations. The model designed ensure each citizen quick access (15 minutes foot) essential various types. Moreover, implementation demands strengthening promoting sustainable solutions can support daily habitants.

Climate change is a defining challenge for today's society and its consequences pose great threat to humanity. Cities are major contributors climate change, accounting over 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions. With urbanization occurring at rapid rate worldwide, cities will play key role in mitigating emissions addressing change. Greenhouse strongly interlinked with air quality as they share emission sources. Consequently, there opportunity develop policies which maximize the co-benefits reductions on health. As such, narrative meta-review conducted highlight state-of-the-art monitoring modelling tools can inform monitor progress towards pollution reduction targets. Urban greenspace an important transition net-zero it promotes sustainable active transport modes. Therefore, we explore advancements urban quantification methods aid strategic developments. There potential harness technological better understand impact strategies subsequently optimal design these going forward. An integrated approach create sustainable, healthy future cities.
