"Physical activity is not currently being prioritised in government policymaking, particularly with regard to low spending on active travel. Increase the cross-departmental government budget for active travel to £20 per head"
British Medical Association
Considering recent public health guidance, we're going virtual! No travel, no hotels, just excellent expert talks, knowledge-sharing and networking, and lots of interactive sessions....
Physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for poor health, and zero carbon policies are urgently needed to combat climate change. The solution? Healthy, active and sustainable travel options.
The Public Health & Sustainable Transport Summit brings together central and local government decision-makers to focus on practical best practice between the public health, transport planning and urban development sectors.
Prevention rather than cure is now government’s public health priority, and policy makers and planners can make a significant difference to positive health outcomes through boosting the delivery of active travel and better public transport schemes.
Physical activity can make huge positive inputs to a range of health and inequality challenges, and the UK government has promised cross-departmental action to increase population activity levels.
With more than 60% of councils declaring a Climate Emergency, boosting decarbonisation and resilience have become anchors of community concern, and are ideally placed to be the drivers of a transition to active and low carbon solutions.
The Public Health & Sustainable Transport Summitis all about how local authorities, practitioners and innovators are delivering real-world benefits for citizens, today and tomorrow.
Boosting active and sustainable travel is a clear winner in the current drive to deliver much-needed social and environmental benefits across the population. A key focus will be emerging new opportunities around integrated and collaborative planning, coming forward in the National Planning Policy Framework, The Department for Transport’s updated appraisal guidance, the National Infrastructure Assessment and Public Health England’s vision.
