Those wanting to make their travel more carbon-conscious face hefty bills. A new report by Greenpeace says that air travel within Europe is up to 30 times cheaper than traveling by more sustainable trains.
As Europe swelters in a heat wave, and the climate crisis accelerates, many travelers are looking towards trains rather than polluting planes. But those wanting to make their travel more carbon-conscious face hefty bills. According to a new report, taking a long-distance train in Europe can cost nearly 30 times as much as flying. The report, compiled by environmental campaign group Greenpeace, compared the cost of flight and train tickets on 112 European routes on nine different dates.
5% of global planet-heating pollution, emit nearly five times more greenhouse gases on average than trains, according to figures from the European Environment Agency, and aviation was the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe between 2009 and 2019, increasing by 29% over the decade, according to Greenpeace.
