Javna razprava o prometni politiki bolj potrebna od nadaljnje gradnje avtocest

Ljubljana, 9. februar – Koalicija za trajnostno prometno politiko ostro nasprotuje nadaljnjemu zadolževanju DARS za gradnjo avtocest v višini dobre milijarde evrov. Vlada namreč z odobritvijo nadaljnjega zadolževanja za gradnjo avtocest jasno kaže, da je govorjenje o razvoju železnice in trajnostni usmeritvi prometne politike le 'fasada' za javnost in EU.

Poziv vladi za aktivnejši boj proti spreminjanju podnebja

Ljubljana, 17. november – Člani Fokus društva za sonaraven razvoj so danes ministru Podobniku predali nekaj več kot 2500 podpisov ljudi, ki zahtevajo aktivnejši boj proti spreminjanju podnebja. Vlado pozivajo, da Slovenija sprejme cilj zmanjšanja emisij toplogrednih plinov za 30 % glede na leto 1986 do leta 2020. Ta cilj je v skladu z napovedmi znanstvenikov o potrebnem zmanjšanju emisij toplogrednih plinov v razvitih državah, če želimo ohraniti varno podnebje.
