4. Transport, climate change and air pollution
[ch 4: page 53]Transport is responsible for a third of the UK’s greenhouse gas (GHG)emissions (see page 38). The resolution adopted at the 2017 TUC Congress (see page 9) noted that a reduction in carbon dioxide levels must be the basis for the UK’s future transport policy, in addition to building public transport capacity and moving more freight from road to rail.
