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.‼️

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.
