Ultrafine particles from planes have been linked to thousands of cases of respiratory problems, cardiovascular effects and pregnancy issues across Europe.

What can the aviation industry do to solve this problem?

Only 17% of customers in Brussels' main shopping areas arrive by car.

Yet Brussels' suburbanites insist pedestrianisation has "forced dozens of store to close". That's not even remotely true. And if they ever came into the city center they'd know that. https://t.co/OcuIA2iLhR

#Euro2024 football teams could cut their travel emissions by nearly 60% if they avoided flying.

@UEFA & @DB_Bahn have taken steps to promote fan train travel but failure of teams to do the same is a missed opportunity.

++Rails are a straight way forward to improve #Airquality in Europe. Many today, with us too, are calling for a European initiative for #airquality and climate-friendly rail. The attractiveness and capacity of rail transport in the EU must be massively increased. #RelaunchOnRail

[Giulio Mattioli @giulio_mattioli]

Airlines: "Air travel activity is going to boom *no matter what*. Forget about taxes, demand is completely inelastic. This is why we need technology and technology only"

Also airlines: "A 3€ ticket tax will suppress demand so much that it will put the industry in a crisis"

Today the EU has used up nature’s budget for the entire year.

From the food we eat to the use of unsustainable biofuels, the EU must address how we are using the planet's resources.

We need champions for the environment in the European Parliament more than ever.

We should never take democracy for granted.

Use your vote. Or others will decide for you.

@JoeInwood and @nadinemingers speak on why a just transition to climate neutrality matters✊

"Our ambitions for the energy and transport sector have to be strengthened in the next term, the next European Parliament needs to accelerate climate protection."

#VoteFutureEU

[T&E (🦋 find us @transportenvironment.org) @transenv]

Who in the @Europarl_EN is supporting climate action and driving clean transport in Europe?

We ran the MEP numbers from this legislative term. Only a minority, the Greens and The Left, voted to unlock the benefits of this transition for all of society.

🔴Energy policy: Let's get rid of gas!

🤯We reveal in a new report how the fossil gas industry is trying to impose more and more gas infrastructure on us, at the expense of the energy transition and access for all to affordable energy. #BlockGas

🚨 Important @euronewsgreen article with our Head of Italy, @ClaudioMagliulo ⬇️

We want a Road Code that actually prioritises road safety. The Italian government needs to sit down with transport experts & the families of road victims to make this happen.

The EU saw a big win for its environmental policy when the WTO ruled in favour of its decision to remove palm oil from its classification of renewable fuels this month.

Why won't it use this opportunity to do the same for soy?

NEW: Norway says Esso misclassified animal fat biofuels.

The government suspects that "the error is industry-wide".

As we suspected in our report last year, animal fats appear to represent a new frontier for biofuels fraud.

NEW: Transport is on track to make up nearly half of Europe’s emissions in 2030.

Since 2007 the sector has been decarbonising more than 3x slower than the rest of the economy.

See how emissions have evolved and what we can do about it ➡️
