Aviation benefits from unfair tax exemptions and carbon pricing for how polluting of a sector it is.

To get serious on climate, we must close this 'tax gap'.

LATEST: EU launches anti-dumping investigation into Chinese biodiesel.

The EU Commission should not just focus on the price issue but also the fraud that is happening behind the scenes.

We are fooling ourselves if we think e-fuels will help European carmakers compete with Chinese EVs. They are simply too inefficient.

The story of 2023 was endless climate backlash and green fatigue... or was it?

Despite pushback against the combustion engine phaseout or London's ULEZ, T&E's William Todts reflects on how 2023 was actually a year of resilience for the climate movement 👇

This is a scandal.

Last night saw Europe's lawmakers put industry profits over public health: 100m petrol and diesel cars will be sold before the EU's engine phase-out in 2035.

Because of this capitulation, they will be as dirty as cars sold in 2015.

EU lawmakers have agreed to leave limits on toxic NOx and the mass of particles emitted from cars untouched.

MEPs should reject the deal which allows carmakers to greenwash new vehicles as ‘Euro 7’ despite being virtually no cleaner than under Euro 6.

The amount of crop-based biodiesel in Europe’s energy mix is not decreasing fast enough, new data shows.

These feedstocks put pressure on the environment and global food systems; they are no solution to the climate crisis.

NEW: 26% of French EV sales would lose their subsidies under new green eligibility rules.

France’s eco-bonus shows how we can promote cleaner made-in-Europe EVs. But for it to be truly effective, broader adoption & alignment across Europe is essential 👉 transportenvironment.org/discover/franc…

While too limited, the scheme shows other countries how to make affordable EVs accessible to people with limited means and no option but to drive.

Public health win: Brussels' low-emission zones contributed to a nearly 30% drop in nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) on main roads since 2018, according to Bruxelles Environnement - Leefmilieu Brussel.

This is what can be accomplished when we take bold steps to clean up our air 💪
