Transport & Environment (T&E) is a leading European environmental organisation focused on sustainable transport. Its main goal is to reduce the environmental impact of transport, advocating for policies that promote cleaner, safer, and more efficient transportation systems. T&E operates across various sectors including road, air, and maritime transport, addressing issues such as air pollution, carbon emissions, and noise pollution.
T&E’s key objectives include the decarbonisation of the transport sector, the promotion of electric vehicles, and the reduction of air and noise pollution. They aim to influence policy at both the EU and national levels, pushing for stringent regulations and standards that encourage sustainable transport solutions. The organisation’s structure comprises a network of member and supporter organisations across Europe, working collaboratively to achieve common goals.
In relation to sustainable finance, T&E’s work highlights the importance of integrating environmental considerations into transport investment decisions. By promoting policies that require greater transparency and accountability in transport-related financial investments, T&E contributes to the broader agenda of sustainable finance.
The organisation provides a wealth of resources including research reports, policy briefs, and position papers that offer in-depth analysis on various aspects of sustainable transport. Their research covers areas such as vehicle emissions standards, biofuels, and the environmental impact of aviation and shipping. These resources are valuable for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers seeking to understand the complexities of sustainable transport and its financial implications.
Additionally, T&E offers practical tools and databases, such as the CO2 Emissions Performance Standards for Cars and Vans tool, which tracks vehicle emissions and compliance with EU standards. These tools aid in monitoring progress and ensuring accountability within the transport sector.
A zero-emission mobility system that is affordable and has minimal impacts on our health, climate and environment.
Transport & Environment is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit organisation focused on decarbonising transport in Europe by 2050. We receive funding from a diverse range of donors, including foundations, government agencies, multilateral institutions, and our own membership of 51 independent environmental organisations across Europe.
It is our policy to only accept funding that does not impair our independence to pursue our mission or endanger our integrity and reputation. T&E supports transparency and democracy in decision-making on all levels of society.
