Why transport & energy efficiency are

high priorities for local authorities

URBAN GROWTH

• 75% of Europe’s

citizens live in cities.

POLLUTION

• 40% of CO2 from road

transport.

• 70% of other pollutants

from urban traffic.

• 3.7 million early deaths due

to air pollution mostly in

cities occur every year.

PHYSICAL INACTIVITY• Millions of hours are spent in

urban and regional congestion .

• 2/3rds of the adult population in

the EU do not reach

recommended levels of activity.

• 4th leading risk factor for death

worldwide. (WHO, 2014).
