A study by the Clean Cities Campaign analyzed 36 European cities using metrics related to factors such as pedestrian safety, air quality, and access to climate-friendly transportation. Although no European cities are on track to achieve pollution-free transport before 2030, the study found Oslo, Amsterdam, and Helsinki to be making the most progress toward that goal, with Oslo on top. Paris and London ranked fifth and 12th, respectively. “Cities are where emissions are mostly concentrated,” said Barbara Stoll, director of the Clean Cities Campaign. “If we want to do something about climate change, we have to tackle it through the city lens.” In December 2021, the European Commission laid out an Urban Mobility Framework that requires 424 major cities to adopt plans to promote cleaner transport.
