Transport causes 26 % of the global CO 2 emissions and is the sector with the highest growth of global CO 2 emissions. . (IEA 2008) UIC incl. DB AG Official SB 28 side event, June 10 th 2008

Everything available at all times: (examples) Passenger services: • • holidays, weekend trips… shopping in London, Paris, NY. . . Freight services: • • fresh food … ”exotic” furniture… UIC incl. DB AG Official SB 28 side event, June 10 th 2008

Status: Transport brings enormous benefits to society, but also many costs… Transport & mobility patterns - not developing in sustainable ways: • Increasing demand for passenger/freight transport • Growing markets for automotive and aviation • International aviation and shipping not included in Kyoto targets • Technological improvements eaten by volume growth • True costs of transport not reflected in the market • Lack of cross sectoral approaches in development of transport policies UIC incl.

Where are the railways? HERE! Tonight we are here at SB 28 to promote railways and how to create sustainable transport systems UIC incl. DB AG Official SB 28 side event, June 10 th 2008

Transport has highest growth even without aviation Development of CO 2 -emissions in Europe: Future scenarios 2002 -2010 Air transport has increased its emissions with 50 % (1990 -2003)! December 2005 UIC 3 incl. DB AG Official SB 28 side event, June 10 th 2008

EU Railways’ official targets to reduce energy consumption and CO 2 Emissions Company Targets SBB From 2006 to 2015, - 10% total energy consumption SNCB From 2005 to 2015, -7, 5% energy consumption NS From 1990 to 2020, - 20% total Co 2 emissions DB From 2002 to 2020, -20% specific Co 2 RENFE From 2004 to 2009, - 9% specific energy consumption SJ From 1990 to 2020, - 30% total Co 2 From 1990 to 2050, - 60 -80% Eurostar From 2007 to 2012, - 25% of specific Co 2 VR From 2007 to 2012, -20% specific energy consumption News: SNCF recently launched its energy saving programme: -20% energy consumption in 2020!!

UIC Projects and activities 2007 -2008 1. CO 2 emissions guidelines and calculation 2. CO 2 targets for post-Kyoto 3. Energy Management systems for railways 4. Eco. Passenger & Eco. Trans. IT 5. Trainer EU project 6. Railenergy EU project 7. Hyrail EU project 8. Green 9. Energy Billing project 10. Energy Efficiency Conference December 2005 UIC 3 incl. DB AG Official SB 28 side event, June 10 th 2008

Conclusions - Transport needs more attention in the climate change combat, as for the energy efficiency of railways as a key to reach the Kyoto targets and beyond ! - The rail sector should be included in the Kyoto Protocol Mechanisms - To achieve sustainable transport systems a cross sectoral approach is needed - The external costs of transport need to be internalised: The “Polluter Pay’s Principle” needs to be reflected in the transport market !! Railways offer the best performance of energy consumption in terms of passenger*-& ton*kilometre and are the solution for the Kyoto targets and beyond Railway and public transport should be the backbone of sustainable transport systems - offering efficient transport built on social equality, low environmental impact and positive economic growth December 2005 UIC 3 incl.
