This report proposes that the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) should be extended to include tailpipe emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from road vehicles, indirectly through fuel suppliers, and argues that this would be relatively simple and cheap to administer because of the small number of companies involved. The authors argue that including road transport in the EU ETS could potentially save about 75-235 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2018-22. The report also calls for the European Commission to initiate a feasibility study followed by consultation and legislation to include road transport in the EU ETS through fuel suppliers from 2013-17 onwards and that, failing that, the UK Government should consider acting unilaterally. |

So why, when the problems it creates are impossible to miss, are we still surrounded by bad design? The cost of bad design features essays commissioned by CABE to highlight what happens when buildings and spaces go wrong. This collection is the first stage in a continuing campaign assessing the cost of bad design. |

The EU is facing unprecedented demographic changes that will have a major impact across society and the economy. People are living longer and in better health. Fertility rates have dropped to 1.5 children per woman, and in 2030 Europe will have 18 million children and young people fewer than today (*). By then, the number of "older workers"(aged 55 to 64) will have risen by 24 million and the EU will have 34.7 million citizens aged over 80 (compared to 18.8 million today). |
