With the right political and financial support, the European Year of Rail 2021 could trigger a climate-friendly train travel renaissance, with a truly connected European rail network that leaves no one behind.
"Governments and the EU must trigger a rail renaissance and shift away from planes and cars, instead of sending mixed messages with bailouts of airlines and funding for new motoways. Taking trains is one of the best ways to fight the climate crisis, but we need coherent policies and investment to make rail easier and more accessible. After years of neglect, it's time to back the bright future of rail."
-Lorelei Limousin, climate and transport campaigner with Greenpeace EU
