The main international rail and public transport orgainsations have created the “Keep Kyoto on track”-campaign – to put focus on how to integrate transport policy and sustainable mobility in the climate change combat - targeting the participants of the United Nations Climate Change meetings (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)).

Mobility and economical growth are walking hand in hand. We cannot stop the process, but we need to plan and develop a more sustainable mobility.

If you reckon that road is responsible for 84% of transport sector emissions, and a trip by airplane is 5 times more polluting than train, you see how much there is left to do!!

Railway and Public Transport associations ask for political and social committment in pursuing modal shift: we need it, from road to rail, from private to public.

The CO₂ advantage of railways and public transport alone offer a way to achieve the Kyoto Protocol aims.

Railways and Public Transport are the backbone of any sustainable transport systems.

The needed modal shift has to be accomplished by appropriate measures and transport policies.
