CEE Climate Policy Frontier

The EUKI project promotes climate protection measures in the buildings and transport sectors. Problems are analysed and possibilities for improvement are found.

The EU budget has the potential to be a positive driving force in reducing emissions across all sectors. It can also help Member States meet their climate targets and encourage smarter public investment. This executive summary discusses how the EU Budget can help Member States in reducing emissions.

Report: Emission reduction strategies for the transport sector in Spain (Spanish)

Transport is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Spain. Since 2012, transport emissions in Spain have been increasing; In the context of the need for decarbonization by the middle of the century following the Paris Agreement, it is essential to reverse this trend.

Report: Emission reduction strategies for the transport sector in Spain (English)

Transport is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Spain. Since 2012, transport
emissions in Spain have been increasing; in the context of needing to be decarbonised by the midcentury
under the Paris Agreement, this trend needs to be rapidly reversed. Spain is already
experiencing amplified climate change and warming compared to Europe.

Cycling as an Element of Urban Climate Mitigation Policy

Project

The project „Cycling as an element of urban climate mitigation policy“ (Cyclurban) will advance cycling as a measure for sustainable urban mobility and climate mitigation on a local level. In particular, the project will look at the current situation and develop measures to strengthen cycling mobility in the areas infrastructure, policy and planning, services and promotion, also taking into account new developments such as e-bikes and cargo bikes. It will demonstrate how to integrate cycling into municipal strategies in one city in each of our five target countries: Tartu (Estonia), Riga (Latvia), Warsaw (Poland), Velika Gorica (Croatia) and Vrilissia (part of Athens, Greece). Each city will develop own specific strategies to advance urban cycling mobility. In a second step, the project will also provide recommendations on how cycling can be supported on the national level. In seminars and with the help of lessons learned publications, it will disseminate experiences to reach more municipalities and decision makers.

Background

The mobility sector plays a key role for tackling greenhouse gas emissions. All over the world, urbanisation is increasing. More and more people move to- or live in cities. Thus, the necessity to find smart solutions for mobility and transport in metropolitan areas is rapidly growing. A successful fight against climate change implies that traffic-emissions in cities must be kept at low levels while life quality, time efficiency and health should increase simultaneously. This makes a transformation of urban traffic systems inevitable. A major role in a climate friendly – and human friendly – urban transportation system will be played by bicycles. There is no other mean of urban mobility which is more time efficient, silent, climate friendly and healthy. Given that a change in mindsets is slowly taking place and an increasing number of people worldwide are discovering the advantages of cycling, change is much too slow in most cities. Most of the infrastructure is still very much focused on car-based traffic concepts of the last century.
