Transport is one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, driving dangerous global heating. Air pollution, mostly from diesel vehicles, is a public health crisis causing around 300,000 early deaths across Europe every year.
Rolling out measures to clean up transport in cities – such as low- and zero-emission zones, School Streets, more walking and cycling infrastructure, and better parking policies – have significant benefits for residents, from cleaner air to clearer roads.
Reducing carbon emissions from city traffic helps secure a safe climate for future generations, cleans up our air and puts people at the heart of how we design our cities.
