Factsheet | Transport poverty: definition, primary data of Czech households and possible solutions
Already 3% of households in the Czech Republic are at risk of transport poverty, and this situation could worsen in a few years' time. Indeed, with the introduction of the ETS2, the emissions trading scheme for households, which extends emissions trading to road transport and local heating of buildings, fuel prices are expected to rise from 2027. This will have an impact on household budgets. Read the factsheet put together by Research Fellow at EUROPEUM Institute Rebeka Hengalová to find out exactly what transport poverty is and how it can be prevented and eradicated.

Dopravní noviny | There are preventive measures to combat transport poverty, says expert
Emissions from road transport currently account for 29 per cent of all EU emissions, according to the latest Transport&Environment study. The problem is also that, unlike other sectors, emissions from transport have not been falling; on the contrary, they have been rising since 1990 and are at least beginning to stabilise. In the Czech Republic, transport emissions have increased by 62 per cent since 1990. Rebeka Hengalová, researcher at EUROPEUM Institute, commented for Dopravní noviny.

iDNES: Major reform of emission allowances coming, will make fuel and coal more expensive
Against all odds, the EU is sticking to its goal of becoming climate neutral by 2050. The next step is a major reform of emission allowances, tentatively agreed by EU Council and European Parliament negotiators just before Christmas. Emissions trading (ETS) will also apply to buildings and road transport from 2027. Our Senior Researcher Kateřina Davidová commented on this issue for iDNES.
