Paper: “Car Use, Carbon and Festivals”
The paper “Car Use, Carbon and Festivals” was published by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at Manchester University to examine car travel to festivals and what would and what would happen if more people used alternative modes of transportation.
Abstract: “Audience travel is widely acknowledged as a major component of the overall contribution live music makes to climate change. The scale of car travel to festivals, how this has changed over time and the decarbonisation potential of reducing car use for festivals is at present unclear. This work seeks to better understand car travel to festivals, alternative travel modes and the carbon saving potential of reducing audience use of personal vehicles to get to and from these events.”
