about

why an ecological approach to mobility will make communities more resilient to severe weather
Driving, flying, and shipping are entangled with the climate emergency. Fossil-fuelled mobility worsens severe weather, and in turn, severe weather interferes with mobility. A shift to zero-emission transport is critical but insufficient to prepare communities for increasing disruption.

Using two Atlantic Canadian case studies as a springboard, the book contributes to pressing cultural and policy discussions about community resilience by imagining human mobility that works with, rather than against, the climate in ways that benefit local communities.

Focusing on community advocates, policy makers, and academics, I call for a transformative approach to mobility and offer five recommendations:  revolutionising mobility, prioritizing vital mobilties,embracing green and blue, rebranding redundancy, and thinking flex.
