Policy instruments for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport in Europe
Nash, Chris - In: International Journal of Green Economics 4 (2010) 2, pp. 170-182
Transport is one sector of the European economy in which CO<SUB align="right"><SMALL>2</SMALL></SUB> emissions are still growing, both because transport demand as a whole is growing and because the most carbon intensive modes – air and road transport – are growing fastest. The experience of Britain in the last decade shows that...</small></sub>
