Environmental performance assessment of the transport sector in the European Union
| Summary: | Reducing the European Union (EU) transport sector’s pressure on the environment is critical to achieve long-term sustainability. This study evaluates the environmental performance of the transport sector in 28 EU countries, from 2015 to 2017, towards a more sustainable mobility by using composite indicators (CI). The assessment was made through the aggregation of 7 sub-indicators into a CI using a DEA approach. The results indicate that the EU countries had almost no variation on their transport environmental performance in these 3 years analyzed. |
