  Transport is Europe’s biggest climate problem, representing 27% of the bloc’s greenhouse gas emissions. Learn more about what Transport & Environment is doing to clean it up.
- Cars
  Switching from polluting engines to emissions-free electric vehicles is crucial to decarbonising cars, which are responsible for 12% of all greenhouse gas emissions in Europe.
  Cars
- Road freight
  Emissions from trucks and vans are growing fast. But clean, battery electric trucks and vans are ready today.
  Road freight
- Planes
  Aviation is the most climate-intensive form of transport. Green fuels, new technology and demand reduction can put us on a path to cleaner flying.
  Planes
- Ships
  Shipping is responsible for over a tenth of transport CO2 emissons and is a major source of air pollution. Thanks to decades of inaction, its environmental impact is growing. But switching to green fuels offers a cleaner future.
  Ships
- Energy
  Europe’s transport is heavily dependent on oil - around 90% of transport’s energy comes from oil.
  Energy
- Sustainable finance
  The timely decarbonisation of our economy will not be possible without a significant flow of private investments into sustainable economic activities.
  Sustainable finance
- Air quality
  Air quality remains a major environmental problem. Europe needs well-enforced air pollution legislation for cars, vans, buses and trucks.
  Air quality
- Cities
  Transforming the way we move around is urgently needed if we want to tackle the air pollution that is killing us and halt the climate crisis.
  Cities
- Rail
  Rail is one of the greenest modes of transport so having a higher share of passenger and freight journeys performed by train is fundamental for decarbonising the transport sector.
  Rail
- Climate tools
  Climate tools are the collection of measures and agreements that can be applied across transport sectors to support actors to achieve rapid and deep decarbonisation.
