The European Union has set itself the objective of becoming the first carbon-neutral area in the world by 2050. To achieve this, in the 2030-2050 scenario, it will have to count on a better use of information and communication technologies (ICT) by everyone: businesses, institutions and ordinary citizens, both in the reduction of C02 emissions and the environmental impact of the ICTs themselves. In this scenario full of opportunities for the European Green Deal, which points will require more attention from policy makers? What virtuous behaviors will be adopted by end users? What will be the role of the most innovative companies in these areas? We need to act. Individuals can make decisions that lead to a reduction in emissions, but above all, governments need to implement laws and invest in actions that accelerate the transformation of all human activities towards net zero emissions, and that vigorously pursue a drastic reduction in emissions. use of all fossil fuels (coal, fuel oil, methane). In this scenario, the objective of sustainable mobility in which the citizen chooses the most ecological way of traveling by car, train or plane, without damaging the well-being of the Planet, also takes on great importance. Knowing and choosing based on the environmental impact of each vehicle can be the individual response of citizens. But maybe that’s not enough. In fact, transport, especially by road, weighs heavily on final energy consumption, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Maritime and air traffic also weigh on our emissions, by 14% and 13% respectively. There is a need for investments in new technological tools.
How are new technologies already improving air transport activities, flights and airports themselves, to reduce negative pressures on the environment?
What are the possibilities for truly sustainable mobility?
