Covid-19 and Energy Crises Induced Mobility Changes: a Case Study of Latvia

Transforming Consumption-Production Systems Toward Just and Sustainable Futures: Book of Abstracts 2023
Jānis Brizga, Māris Jurušs

Transport is the second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions (29% of the total) in Latvia and one of the only sectors where emissions keep growing as more and more people switch from public transport to private cars. The COVID-19 pandemic and energy crises of 2022 have had a significant impact on these mobility patterns. The government-imposed restrictions and support schemes, increasing energy prices, changes in work patterns and people’s attitudes to safety have had a significant impact on how people travel patterns.
