Demand for transport is growing rapidly in Indonesia. At the same the country – which has a population of 260 million – must massively reduce its transport-related CO₂ emis­sions. But just how promising are the measures that are planned? INFRAS developed methods to find out, and also supported a local pilot scheme.

Forty to fifty million charging stations will be needed globally by 2030 in order to provide electricity to the growing number of electric vehicles.

To monitor and measure progress on sustainable development, the statistical office of the European Union, Eurostat, determined a set of indicators and regularly publishes information on where the EU stands.

The transport sector causes just under one billion euros in external costs annually throughout the EU (2016). On behalf of the European Commission, an international research consortium including INFRAS broke these costs down for each mode of transport, and calculated who actually pays them.

Stricter emission limits have led, amongst other things, to a sharp drop in air pollutant emissions in Switzerland in recent years. The current report on the inventory of air pollutant emissions explains this development - and describes how emissions were calculated.

In 2017, Liechtenstein's greenhouse gas emissions were 15 percent lower than in 1990. That is the conclusion of the current National Inventory Report, which Liechtenstein must produce annually as a member of the UN Climate Convention.

As a member of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, Switzerland must report its greenhouse gas emission levels on an annual basis. The latest report shows that, in 2017, they were more than 11 percent lower than in 1990.

To date, only a small number of Switzerland's largest pension funds have adopted a fully sustainability-based approach to investment. Many pension institutions have nonetheless made progress on this front in recent years.

Traffic volumes in the town of Thun may increase by as much as 25 percent up to 2030. A new, holistic traffic concept sets out 40 measures to achieve sustainable mobility for the future. Public transport and cycling are particularly relevant.
