Improved technology and an increase in the share of diesel cars are the main reasons behind the fall in average CO2 emissions.

This means charges should be much higher in some countries compared to others, according to analysis from the European Environment Agency (EEA).

However, almost all EU Member States failed to keep levels of the pollutant within targets set to protect human health.

The EU has made progress over the past decades to reduce the air pollutants which cause acidification, but a new report published today by the European Environment Agency (EEA) shows that many parts of Europe have persistent problems with outdoor concentrations of PM and ground level ozone.

Eighty per cent of the world’s estimated nine billion people in 2050 are expected to live in urban areas. Our cities and urban areas face many challenges from social to health to environmental. The impacts of cities and urban areas are felt in other regions which supply cities with food, water and energy and absorb pollution and waste. However, the proximity of people, businesses and services associated with the very word ‘city’ means that there are also huge opportunities. Indeed, well designed, well managed urban settings offer a key opportunity for sustainable living.
