The report’s findings for the period 1997–2007 present a mixed picture, with some improvements in air pollutants and serious concerns regarding persistent growth in transport’s greenhouse gas emissions. Over the last ten years we have concentrated on measures to improve mobility whilst decoupling transport emissions from economic growth.
