POLLUTION 40% of CO2 from road transport. 70% of other pollutants from urban traffic. 3.7 million early deaths due to air pollution mostly in cities occur every year. PHYSICAL INACTIVITY Millions of hours are spent in urban and regional congestion . 2/3rds of the adult population in the EU do not reach recommended levels of activity. 4th leading risk factor for death worldwide. (WHO, 2014). !
