Travel Tomorrow discusses a proposal by the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) to phase out harmful fossil fuel subsidies across the EU. The initiative, adopted in April 2025, aims to align climate goals with economic relief but could significantly impact travel costs, particularly for road, air, and public transport. It highlights how subsidies currently keep fossil fuel prices low, disproportionately benefiting wealthier households and undermining incentives to switch to cleaner alternatives. The EESC calls for a fair and gradual transition, suggesting that savings from subsidy cuts be redirected to support greener mobility and protect vulnerable groups.For more details on this initiative, please follow the attached link.
