Summary

Introduction

The green economy in the transport sector theme is an opportune theme within the context of the SDGs, national, provincial and local growth and development imperatives. We provide a synthesis to the book while engaging in reflexive thinking with respect to the future of the green economy and transport sector generally. Through this approach, the authors seek to stimulate further engagement and conversations beyond this book publication. The intention is to sustain the conversation and build further work and projects that advance the green economy and transport sector theme contextually and holistically.
