🔊 Stop and listen: the constant roar of cars, trains rushing to the station, planes taking off… Are you among the one in five people in the EU exposed to harmful long-term noise levels? From sleep disturbances to cardiovascular issues, noise poses many health risks, impacting around 100 million residents due to traffic noise alone - this translates to a loss of one million healthy years annually! 😱 Addressing this issue is now a key objective of the EU's Zero Pollution Plan for 2050. Join us in exploring where this problem is most common and the innovations emerging to tackle it in this new article of the Mastering Mobility series. #UrbanMobility #NoisePollution #ClimateAction #SustainableMobility EIT - European Institute of Innovation and Technology

🔍 Did you know that representation doesn't always guarantee equality? 🤔 In the realm of transport, both women and men are often educated in gendered norms and working methods, leading to persistent challenges in achieving true gender equality. A recent survey conducted as part of the Women in Nordic Intelligent Transport Systems (WIN-ITS) initiative sheds light on this issue. Despite being considered frontrunners in gender equality, Nordic regions still struggle with gender disparities within the ITS sector, tackling: 👉 Not enough women applying for jobs 👉 Not enough qualified/interested women 👉 Biased recruitment Look into the survey findings and explore concepts like 'the leaky pipeline' to understand the complexities of gender equality in transport: https://lnkd.in/dND5Chwq #UrbanMobility #GenderEquality #Transportation #WINITS EIT - European Institute of Innovation and Technology | The Nordic Council of Ministers and The Nordic Council | Trivector Traffic

🇪🇺 Happy Europe Day! Did you know that the EU has a great impact on transport, environment and climate change? 👇 Transportation is responsible for 24% of our CO2 emissions, and despite the efforts, these numbers have been rising by 1.9% every year since 2000. And the EU has a plan! As part of the European Green Deal, the European Union aims to cut transport emissions by 90% by 2050 by: 🌿 Doubling high-speed rail traffic by 2030 🌿 Introducing at least 30 million zero-emission vehicles on our roads 🌿 Achieving climate neutrality in 100 European cities By 2050, the EU supports for almost all our vehicles to be emission-free, and for rail freight and high-speed rail traffic to doubled and tripled, respectively. These are ambitious goals that we can only achieve together. This Europe Day, is about the values we share and the work we do across sectors and countries to make a real difference for all citizen. See you at the European elections 6-9 June 🌍✨ #EuropeDay #UseYourVote #UrbanMobility #ClimateAction EIT - European Institute of Innovation and Technology | European Commission | European Parliament | Bernadette Bergsma
