'Interrail' and the transition to using less air flights

Rjukan Solarpunk Academy

In this podcast, Calum explores the concept of the 'one ticket for the whole journey' Interrail pass and to what extent this can allow people to take less flights. He looks into the positives and challenges to this method and how it can be best used in the future to make it easier for societies to travel long distances by train. In this podcast series Calum will look into different aspects of societal and behavioural change in Norway and Europe - from train travel in Europe to how businesses can be ‘agents of change’. He is studying on the Climate Change Management Master at HVL and is interested in how societies will shift to lower patterns of consumption in the future in order to meet the goals set out in the Paris Agreement. In his first podcast he will explore how easy it is to travel between Norway and Scotland by train, and if an ‘Interrail’ pass can make this easier. The benefits and drawbacks of this method to make travelling by train easier will be discussed. In the next few series of podcasts he will look into the role of organisations such as Protect Our Winters, DNT and commercial businesses in whether they have a role in inspiring society to shift to lower patterns of consumption.
