Portugal with almost no Reduced Emission Zones: Lisbon is the exception – P. studio
In order to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide, several European cities established as Reduced Emission Zones (ZER), in which the circulation of more polluting vehicles is prohibited or conditioned (by, the oldest – prior to certain manufacturing data) .
As part of the “Clean Cities Campaign”, a project by a consortium of non-governmental organizations that is part of the Portuguese company ZERO, at the end of last month the study “The trends in the development of exit zones and the translation of zero in Europe”.
In what is the “state of the art” on ZERs in 17 European territories – those that already exist and those that will be created up to 2025, inclusive -, the little importance that Portugal gives to this instrument stands out: only one ZER of the current total of 320 (0.3 percent), a figure that will be even more contrasting in 2025 (one out of 520).
Is at Lisbon which is the only zone in two parts of parts, divided with a significant amplitude: zone 2 (Avenida-Baixa-NorteS ven of zone 2) and USA | Avenida das Forças Armadas | Avenue of Forces | Avenida Marechal António Spinola | Avenida Infante Dom Henrique). But according to ZERO, its effects are “practically nil” due to its “profound outdatedness” in terms of requirements and “absence of effective supervision”, an example of which is Avenida da Liberdade.
The ZERs, by the nature of their geographical application, are decided and regulated by the local authorities.
Panorama in Europe
Among the 17 countries that were analyzed (Germany, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Netherlands, Italy, Norway, Poland, Portugal, United Kingdom, Czech Republic and Sweden), is Italy (172) which has the most ZER, followed by Germany (78) and the Netherlands (14). At the bottom of this list appear Poland and Bulgaria (both with 0) and four nations with only one ZER: Portugal, Finland, Czech Republic and Greece.
If the direction is carried out based on a ranking of 1, but Italy projected for 2025 will remain as the country with the most ZER (the same 172) it will make a huge leap (from 3 complete Spain to 49), with Spain becoming a trio with more constraints (78). Among the countries of these 17 with less ZER, the current four will be (as is the case of Portugal), since only one Poland and thus are expected to have two and three areas with currently .
In all, in three years, if as current examples arise in executions which, for, in the Spanish case, there is an increase of 58 great doubts, due to the growing growth – an increase of 58 great ones (320 to 57).
to ZERO “the public service areas for the public service are being properly used”. The environmental one, when the European Union released the results, which, according to the World Organization is a public health association, according to the World Organization is a publication of more than 300,000,000,000. 6,000 in Portugal alone, with cars being one of its “main causes”.
