Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. BTaking into account that transport is the only sector where GHG emissions have continued to grow by 30% over the last 25 years, that it is responsible for around 25% of GHG emissions and that transport's GHG emissions are projected to increase, strongly believes that without a greater focus on emissions from the transport sector, the overall climate targets will be impossible to reach, as transport i; stresses theat only sector where greenhouse gas emissions have continued to grow: by 30% over the last 25 years; onlybinding GHG reduction targets together with a more fully integrated transport policy that incorporates modal shift policies together withand technological advancement as well as transport avoidance (e.g. through green logistics and integrated mobility management) will be able to achieve this;

3a. Calls on the EU to show the path and to play a leading role in implementing concrete measures and legislative initiatives in the transport sector in order to achieve and respect its mitigation commitments; calls on the Commission to submit: - an ambitious legislative proposals to implement the EU's Climate and Energy Policy Framework for 2030, including a specific and binding GHG emission reduction target for the transport sector; - a legislative proposal to maintain a clear emissions-reduction trajectory with long term target setting up ambitious mandatory limits on average CO2 emissions for light and heavy vehicles; - a proposal to establish a European Union framework for distance- based charging including the complete internalisation of external costs also for passenger cars in accordance with the polluter-pays principle in order to promote the use of sustainable modes of transport;

4a. More than half of the world's population now lives in towns and cities and urban transports are a major contributor of GHG emissions from the transport sector. Therefore, urges the Commissions and the Member States to actively raise awareness on the role of sustainable urban mobility to achieve mitigation commitments.

Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Stresses that all good energy mix is necessary in the transport sector by promoting alternative vehicles running with natural gas and biogas and policies to strengthen the electrification of transport need to accent railways, trams, electrified busses, e-bicycles, need to incorporate the entire lifecycle perspective and need to be based on renewable sources of electricity;

Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Points out that the use of space-based assets should be considered in the implementation of measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change, particularly through the monitoring and surveillance of greenhouse gas emissions. Urges the Commission to actively contribute to a global monitoring system of CO2 and CH4. Calls on the Commission to promote efforts towards developing an EU system of measuring GHG emissions in an autonomous and non-dependent manner using and expanding the missions of the Copernicus programme.
