Getting more for less: An alternative assessment of the NEC Directive

This report aims to support the development of more integrated strategies for environment policy, which in turn will generate smarter and more cost-effective emission abatement strategies. The three environmental organisations that have published this report have long been convinced that using policies to improve energy and transport efficiency, and to achieve fuel-switching and modal shifts in transport, will allow great pollution cuts at lower costs. This will realise the multiple benefits of improved economic efficiency, lower greenhouse-gas emissions, and lower pollution levels.
