To find out more about this, Alan Morrissey was joined by Policy Analyst at the WDC and lead author of the report, Dr. Helen McHenry. Photo (c): Visit Clare

Il convegno internazionale Med-GREEN ha esplorato la sostenibilità socio-ecologica nel Mediterraneo, affrontando temi come edilizia ecologica, mobilità sostenibile e gestione del paesaggio. Esperti internazionali hanno discusso soluzioni innovative per un futuro più verde. Dal 20 al 22 febbraio 2025, Cagliari ha ospitato il convegno internazionale "Med-GREEN: La sostenibilità socio-ecologica fra bioregionalismo e globalismo: modelli, metafore, terminologie e trasformazioni". L'evento, svoltosi presso l'Aula Coroneo della Cittadella dei Musei in Piazza Arsenale, ha riunito esperti e studiosi per discutere le sfide e le opportunità legate alla sostenibilità nelle regioni del Mediterraneo. Il convegno ha rappresentato la fase conclusiva del progetto "MED-GREEN: Examining Models of Local Livelihood, Green Building, and Sustainable Mobility in Mediterranean Areas through Discursive Negotiation and Active Citizenship". Avviato nell'agosto 2023 e finanziato dall'Unione Europea, il progetto si è concentrato sull'analisi di modelli di sussistenza locale, edilizia ecologica e mobilità sostenibile in paesi come Italia, Francia, Egitto e Tunisia. L'obiettivo principale è stato stimolare processi urbani, socioeconomici e culturali per rafforzare e ripristinare il patrimonio naturale e i beni comuni locali. Il team di coordinamento del progetto è stato guidato dalla professoressa Mariangela Albano del Dipartimento di Lettere, Lingue e Beni Culturali dell'Università di Cagliari, in collaborazione con Patrizia Serra e Flavio Stochino del Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Ambientale e Architettura. Nell'intervista la professoressa Albano ha sottolineato l'importanza di un approccio interdisciplinare per affrontare le tematiche della sostenibilità, evidenziando come il progetto miri a unire diversi settori per esplorare le narrazioni e i concetti alla base della sostenibilità attuale. Il programma Il programma del convegno è stato articolato in dieci sessioni tematiche, affrontando vari aspetti della sostenibilità socio-ecologica. Tra i temi trattati: Pianificazione sostenibile del paesaggio: strategie per la gestione e la conservazione dei paesaggi mediterranei in un'ottica di sviluppo sostenibile. Integrazione delle infrastrutture nel paesaggio: soluzioni per armonizzare le infrastrutture moderne con gli ecosistemi naturali. Architettura e ambiente costruito: promozione di pratiche architettoniche sostenibili che rispettino le tradizioni locali e l'ambiente. Gestione delle risorse naturali: approcci innovativi per l'uso responsabile delle risorse idriche, agricole e forestali. Cambiamento climatico e paesaggi resilienti: strategie di adattamento per mitigare gli effetti del cambiamento climatico nelle regioni mediterranee. Evento internazionale L'evento ha visto la partecipazione di numerosi esperti internazionali, che hanno condiviso ricerche e progetti innovativi, promuovendo il dialogo tra discipline diverse e favorendo la collaborazione tra vari settori. Un aspetto centrale del convegno è stato l'esplorazione di soluzioni sostenibili che tengano conto degli aspetti sociali, culturali, economici e ambientali, con l'obiettivo di offrire opportunità di formazione ed educazione attraverso workshop, sessioni interattive e seminari tenuti da esperti di fama internazionale. La professoressa Albano ha evidenziato come il progetto "MED-GREEN" aspiri a fornire una visione e approccio integrato tra linguistica ed ingegneria fondamentale per garantire un futuro sostenibile e armonioso per le generazioni future nelle regioni del Mediterraneo.

Questo rappresenta un'opportunità preziosa per comprendere meglio le sfide e le prospettive legate alla sostenibilità socio-ecologica nel contesto mediterraneo.

Quanto sta impattando la decarbonizzazione della mobilità sul taglio delle emissioni inquinanti?Secondo un recente studio, il ruolo della auto elettriche non è così determinante: le vetture a batteria, infatti, hanno una scarsa penetrazione nel nostro parco circolante (il rapporto è di 7 auto elettriche su mille), e non sostituiscono bensì affiancano le vetture endotermiche già in circolazione, negando il ricambio a cui aspira la strategia europea.Per un maggiore taglio delle emissioni è quindi necessario non puntare solo sulle vetture full electric ma anche su un uso più consapevole dell'auto e sui carburanti sostenibili - sottolinea Antonio Sileo, direttore del programma di ricerca Sustainable Mobility della Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei.

Val and Faith are joined in the studio by Dr Lauren Pearson, Research Fellow & Equity Lead, Sustainable Mobility and Safety Research at Monash University. Lauren joined us on an earlier program to discuss the Petal Project and her report Unlocking young women's access to bike-riding, relesed late last year. Lauren gives us a a quick recap of the project and its findings about the complexity of travel for young women. You can check out this episode to hear more. Today we loook at the second part of the program which was workshops and interviews with participants and the solutions and interventions particpants themselves came up with for many of the issues raised during the course of research. During the program we also discussed a specific discussion on Late Night Live which you can find here.  

When you think of electric vehicle battery life, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Anxiety? Degradation? With EV adoption being a fairly recent concept, it's fair if you set your expectations low. However, real-world data shows EV batteries degrade by just 1.8% per year, according to Charlotte Argue, Senior Manager of Sustainable Mobility at Geotab. In fact, after 10 years, an EV battery should retain over 80% of its original capacity.Geotab analyzed 5,000 EVs in fleet applications and found battery degradation rates improved, dropping from 2.3% per year in 2019 to 1.8% today. The study focused on light-duty fleet vehicles, including those in municipalities, government agencies, and field service operations – cases when vehicles often experience harsher conditions and higher usage than personal EVs.On this episode of The Amped EV Podcast, Argue explains how EVs can offer fleet operators a cost-effective investment. A Geotab study of 750,000 fleet vehicles across seven countries found that 75% of gas-powered vehicles could switch to EVs and still meet their range requirements. Forty-one percent of fleet operators would save money by transitioning to EVs, she adds.Frequent fast charging and high temperatures accelerate battery degradation. Vehicles relying on DC fast charging in hot climates degrade faster. However, many fleets can reduce stress on batteries by using slower charging methods during natural downtime. This approach lowers costs and extends battery lifespan.“We're seeing that battery health is not something fleet owners need to fear,” Argue tells us. “In fact, with the right data and operational strategies, EVs are proving to be a cost-effective and long-lasting alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles.” The Buzz: www.thebuzzevnews.com

Val and Faith are joined in the studio by Dr Lauren Pearson, Research Fellow & Equity Lead, Sustainable Mobility and Safety Research at Monash University. We share our bike moments before taking a look at some local news. Over the New Year the Road Safety Action Plan Phase 2 was released. Developed by Victoria's Road Safety Partners, the plan includes some subtle changes in language and otherwise that may prove significant for active transport in Melbourne and Victoria.  The Age has included in a recent story on Victoria's road toll over the past 15 years a handy infographic that can be filtered by suburb and shows the impact of t he road toll on different road users, pedestrians, cyclsists and others, over the last. fifteen years. Take a look at Victoria's Road toll by the numbers. Discussion turns to the Petal Project and the report Unlocking young women's access to bike-riding relesed late last year. Lauren explains how the project came about, the complexity of travel for young women, of their choices with repect to different modes and how considerations of these issues hasn't traditionally been a part of the provision of transport infrastrcuture. With so much left to unpack when we run out of time we decide we will need to have Lauren back on the program soon to look at the solutions and interventions particpants in the project came up with for many of the issues raised during the course of research.

Ben Uprcoft, VP of Technology at Oxbotica, joins me on Tech Talks Daily. Today's guest has extensive experience in perception systems for field robotics ranging from commercial passenger vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, draglines, haul trucks, and underwater platforms to unmanned aerial vehicles. At Oxbotica, Ben is responsible for technology development and our team of skilled engineers, balancing state-of-the-art algorithms with real-world system implementation to achieve intelligence in self-driving platforms - on and off road. Ben's previous life was as a tenured academic in Computer Vision and Robotics at the Queensland University of Technology, Australia where he focussed on machine learning for field robotics. He led the Robotics and Autonomous Systems group of over 150 postgraduate students, postdocs, and academics. Today, we explore delivering safe and sustainable AV technology that will reshape the future of transportation and mobility. I learn more about Oxbotica's software, Oxbotica Driver, which brings flexibility to its fleet customers and partners, such as the Ocado Group, enabling a unique last-mile delivery service. We discuss how Oxbotica is accelerating the adoption of its full-stack Oxbotica Driver by revolutionizing last-mile delivery not just in the UK but in the US, as the company plans to go global and work towards its mission of 'Universal Autonomy.' Earlier this year, the all-electric AppliedEV vehicle, driven by Oxbotica, completed a journey in Oxford with no onboard driver, marking the next step in commercializing AV technology. The target for the first public on-road business deployment with Ocado Group, with a goods delivery variant, completing customer orders will be from 2023 onwards.

Everyone is talking about EVs, so getting caught up in the hype is easy. The problem is, EVs aren't yet suitable for every use case, and jumping into electrifying your fleet with eyes closed can have severe consequences. There's so much to think about: What are your routes? What infrastructure do you need? How much range do you need? The list goes on. Get the answer to any of these questions wrong and you might dig an electrified hole that isn't easy to escape.Fear not, though – there is help to be had. Geotab's EV Suitability Assessment Tool is a great place to start the journey. To walk us through how it works and about saving money via the Inflation Reduction Act, we invite Charlotte Argue, senior manager of Sustainable Mobility at Geotab, onto the show.The Buzz: www.thebuzzevnews.com
