V praksi priključni hibridi povzročajo skoraj toliko emisij kot običajna vozila.🚫

Če želimo doseči podnebne cilje in pravi prehod na brezogljično mobilnost, je nujno, da politike temeljijo na dejanskih podatkih, ne na obljubah industrije.‼️

Human & environmental rights should never be placed at the whim of corporations. But that is what the EU is doing by revising and watering down sustainability laws!

Slovenia’s green transition funding lacks a clear plan and focus on fairness.

We call for: taxing the polluting elite, climate dividends, better public transport, social housing, and no funds for companies ignoring climate goals.
