The transport sector plays a crucial and growing role in world energy use and emissions of GHGs. In 2004, transport energy use amounted to 26% of total world energy use and the transport sector was responsible for about 23% of world energy-related GHG emissions (IEA, 2006b).

About 100 000 deaths a year could be linked to ambient air pollution in cities in the WHO European Region, shortening life expectancy by an average of a year. Thenumber of casualties attributed to air pollution is comparable to the numberof fatalities from traffic accidents, and its imprint is observed in all age groups,including children (Valent et al., 2004).

There are three primary ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport:
„
AVOID SHIFT IMPROVE
Reduce or avoid travel or
the need to travel
Shift to moreEnvironmentally
friends mode
Improve the energyefficiency of trasportmodes and vehicles

PARIS AND LONDON
London : charging stations
•'I want to rapidly accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles and make London the epicentre of electric driving in Europe. Increasing numbers of motorists are opting for cleaner, greener electric transport, delivering a host of benefits to the driver including a 100 per cent Congestion Charge discount.

Paris AutolibAutolib’ is the first public service plan with electric vehicles to be developed in a large
European metropolis.

Vicenza: V.E.LO.CE. (Vicenza Eco-Logistic Center)
All goods destined for the zone with limited traffic are sent to the VELOCE Eco-logistical Centre of Vicenza’s historical city centre. The Centre then sees to the delivery and pick-up of goods using only ecologically powered vehicles.
BEST PRACTICES SELECTED: LOGISTIC SYSTEMS

Effective action on Urban Transport is central to achieving target on GHG reduction and to reduce pollution in cities
1. “Reducing the need to travel”: efficient logistic and trasport systems forpeople2. Move of road freight to other modes such as rail or waterborne transport3. Higher involvement of the small medium european cities throughteuropean projects (i.e the Convenant of Mayors)4. Strengthen public awareness of sustainable: demonstration project such asEuropean Mobility Week 2012 or Corrente-in-movimento 20125. Higher involvement of the local ONG to implement bottom-up approach on mobility plans
