Transport, Environment and Health: Developing Sustainable Policies for Urban Settings in European Countries

This presentation discusses the challenges faced in reducing the emissions of harmful gases in urban settings of European countries and the need for developing sustainable policies for transport and environment. It covers environmental, social, and economic concerns and provides a visual representation of the plan. The presentation also includes a bibliography for further reading.

TRANSPORT
ENVIRONMENT
AND HEALTH

ORIENTATION
 There is changes in the lifestyle and
transport operations mostly in the European
countries takes place which are located in
the urban settings.
 Environmental, social, health and economic
concerns.
 Challenges in minimizing the effects took
place.
 It aims in reducing the emissions of harmful
gases and bringing in sustainability as the
approach of changing the transport systems
in urban settings.

DEFINITION OF SUSTAINABILITY
RELEVANT TO THE SCENARIO
 ‘Sustainable
development is
development that
meets the needs of
the present without
compromising the
ability of future
generations to meet
their own needs’.
 This definition is
completely inked
with the scenario to
be given.

THESIS STATEMENT
 The European countries could be able to get
success of reducing down the
environmental and social impacts on the
