The article, published by the European Environment Agency on October 31, 2024, highlights that the transport sector remains one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU, with little progress in reduction since 2005. Preliminary estimates for 2023 indicate a slight drop of 0.8% in emissions compared to 20221. The article emphasizes the need for stronger measures to achieve significant reductions and meet climate goals.
