V Focusu stremimo k zagotavljanju učinkovite mobilnosti, kot orodje na poti k temu cilju pa prepoznavamo oživitev javnega potniškega prometa (JPP), ki upošteva potrebe in želje njegovih uporabnikov in te aktivno vključuje v proces sprejemanja ukrepov nadaljnje prometne politike. V okviru projekta Javni prevoz je kul! organiziramo okroglo mizo, na kateri bomo spregovorili o pomembnosti JPP pri reševanju prometne problematike ter spodbudili javno razpravo o razvojnih spodbudah za revitalizacijo JPP v Sloveniji.

Okrogla miza 'Oživitev javnega potniškega prometa v Sloveniji'

bo 8. aprila 2009 od 13. do 15 . ure, v dvorani G, v prostorih Gospodarske zbornice na Dimičevi 13 v Ljubljani .

O priložnostih razvoja JPP v Sloveniji bodo spregovorili :

Patrick Vlačič (Minister za promet)*,

Mitja Pavliha (Ministrstvo za okolje in prostor),

Marko Hren (Ministrstvo za razvoj),

Robert Sever (Gospodarska zbornica),

Boštjan Koren (Slovenske železnice),

Aljaž Plevnik (Urbanistični inštitut RS) in

predstavnik/ca Mestne občine Ljubljana.

Okroglo mizo bo povezovala Vida Petrovčič.

Vljudno vabljeni!

Jutri, v sredo, 25. 3. 2009, bodo poslanci DZ RS odločali o rebalansu proračuna za leto 2009. Ob tej priložnosti sta Okoljski center in Greenpeace Slovenije nanje naslovila odprto pismo, v katerem jih opozarjamo, da vlada strateško popolnoma zgrešeno predlaga zmanjšanje proračunskih sredstev za učinkovito rabo in rabo obnovljivih virov energije s 27 milijonov € na 13,5 milijona €, čeprav lani sprejeti akcijski načrt zgolj za doseganje ciljev učinkovite rabe zahteva 40 milijonov € proračunskih sredstev letno. Z izboljšanjem energetske učinkovitosti hkrati obvladujemo izzive gospodarske, podnebne in energetske krize! Zato od poslancev pričakujemo, da pokažejo pogum za spremembe ter zagotovijo [več ...]

Ukrepi za reševanje obeh kriz morajo biti skladni in učinkoviti, predvsem pa je nujno oblikovanje pravičnega svetovnega podnebnega dogovora, ki bo zagotovil sredstva za podnebno ukrepanje državam v razvoju.

Poziv k opustitvi absurdne prepovedi upoštevanja podnebja, zastojev in nesreč pri cestninjenju tovornih vozil

Bruselj/Ljubljana, 12. januar 2009 – Tovornjaki povzročajo veliko več okoljske škode in zastojev kot se je predvidevalo, verjetnost, da bodo povzročili smrtne žrtve pa je dvakrat večja kot pri avtomobilih, ugotavlja danes objavljena študija T&E (1). Tovornjaki tudi še ne plačujejo za stranske učinke prometa, kot so zastoji, hrup in onesnaženje.

Poznan, Poland, 11 dec 2008 – Environmental NGOs and youth from Central and Eastern European (CEE) Countries united together this morning to warm up their official delegations to negotiate effectively at the United Nations Climate Conference of Parties in Poznan, Poland.

Okoljske nevladne organizacije opozarjajo, da je nova evropska zakonodaja, ki opredeljuje delitev podnebnih ciljev za 2020 med državami članicami, trenutno tako neprimerna, da jo mora Evropski parlament zavrniti, če jo vodje držav članic ta teden ne okrepijo.
