the climate footprint of transport

Do you know that global transport emissions comprised about 23% of direct CO2 emissions in 2008, with land transport accounting for the largest share (16.5 %) under "business as usual" scenarios emissions are projects to rise rapidly in absolute terms. And that Diesel particles contain black carbon, a short-live climate change pollutant? It is up to each of us to make a change, as shift from private motorised transport to prioritized cycling, walking or public transport include reduced…See More

an innovative study

An innovative health impact assessment of road transport was made in Sweden, by bringing together the different health risks associated with road transport. The effect of the greenhouse gas emissions on health are found four times greater than the injury impact. It also found that the health impacts suffered in developing countries as a consequence of emissions of greenhouse gasses from the Swedish road transport system may be three times greater than the mortality from road traffic accidents…See More
