Abstract

This paper is an evidence base review of public attitudes to climate change and travel behaviour. The overall objectives were to improve the evidence base for policy decisions. A main conclusion is the three strands of this review (i) attitudes (ii) climate change and (iii) travel behaviour have not been comprehensively examined. Consequently, the review drew upon literature from environmental psychology, public understanding of science, travel behaviour research, marketing and sociology to achieve its aims. A search strategy designed to capture all aspects of travel behaviour including the choice of all transport modes, car purchasing, the frequency and amount of travel and support for transport policies was used.
