European Green Deal, Transport Sector Emissions

The European Environment Agency reports that the EU is failing to meet 2020 emission targets, leading to the proposal of a "Green Deal" under the Von der Leyen agenda. The transport sector is singled out as a primary offender, with emissions 30% higher than 1990 levels. Proposed solutions include the mandatory transition of taxi fleets and public transport to electric vehicles.
