Transportation Decarbonisation

EU policy has to sharpen the incentives for transport decarbonisation 

Transportation emissions represent a quarter of the EU’s total greenhouse gas emissions and have grown since the 1990s. While legislative and other initiatives set up last term under the banner of the European Green Deal are expected to make a dent in these emissions, further push is required to decarbonise transportation by midcentury, both on EU roads as well as in global sectors like shipping and aviation.
