  • Dealing with the Reality NORTHERN IRELAND ENVIRONMENT LINK CONFERENCE REPORT Foreword
    Conference Proceedings April 2009 Climate Change: Dealing with the Reality NORTHERN IRELAND ENVIRONMENT LINK CONFERENCE REPORT Foreword Scientific and international political opinion agree that climate change is happening, that it is largely caused by human activities and that the implications are far ranging and very serious. Although there are uncertainties around the speed of change, the severity of that change and the nature and extent of its impacts, we cannot delay action to address the issues. An internationally renowned group of scientists assembled in W5 (Odyssey Complex), Belfast for Climate Change: Dealing with the Reality on 20th January 2009 to discuss the issues; this document is a summary of their thoughts. There are opportunities for Northern Ireland to be in the vanguard of both adaptation and mitigation technologies, bringing strong economic benefits to local companies. There are also opportunities to adopt policies and programmes that address the social and economic consequences of climate change while bringing benefits to Northern Ireland’s citizens. Grasping these opportunities requires strong and mature political leadership and offers Northern Ireland an opportunity to establish itself as a serious international leader. Climate change is just one of the many challenges facing Northern Ireland at this time and therefore cannot be dealt with in isolation. It provides a context within which specific issues — such as the increasing role of local authorities, tackling waste, changes in agriculture and the economic recession — can be better understood and more effectively addressed. Acknowledgements This report was compiled and designed by David McCann, and edited by David McCann and Sue Christie. We would like to thank all of the speakers at the conference both for the time and effort they put into producing their presentations and for writing their subsequent articles.

  • Contemporary Lifestyles and the Implications for Sustainable Development Policy: Lessons from the UK’S Most Car Dependent City, Belfast
    Cities, Vol. 18, No. 2, pp. 103–113, 2001 Pergamon PII: S0264-2751(00)00062-7 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved Printed in Great Britain 0264-2751/01 $ - see front matter www.elsevier.com/locate/cities Contemporary lifestyles and the implications for sustainable development policy: Lessons from the UK’s Most Car Dependent City, Belfast J Cooper, T Ryley* and A Smyth Transport Research Institute, Napier University, 66 Spylaw Road, Edinburgh, EH10 5BR, UK The rise in demand for car travel is fuelled more by the increased spatial separation of homes and workplaces, shops and schools than by any rise in trip making. Belfast is one of the most car dependent cities in the United Kingdom. A major household survey was intended to inform an understanding of the likely behavioural response to sustainable development policy initiat- ives. The survey was one of a series of linked tools within a wider EPSRC Sustainable Cities Project research project. Insights into consumer responses to the various policy measures con- sidered in the overall project were drawn in part from the stated preference experiments included in the household survey. Initiatives included improved domestic energy efficiency, increased densification of housing, improved public transport and the introduction of traffic restraint measures such as road user charges. There were signs of some willingness to accept moderately higher densities on the basis that residents would be compensated by a lower than otherwise purchase price. The typical effect of introducing road pricing say at £1.00 per day equated to a reduction in property values of some 2.5% while the absence of any apparent statistical significance generated by the public transport variable reflects its current lack of credibility as an alternative to the car.
