Environmental Impact of Transport
10.38
From 2011 to 2012
The MITRANS indicator measures the overall impact of transport and infrastructure on the environment based on five main impacts, such as air pollution and climate change. TML supported the development of this indicator.
The MITRANS indicator is a single aggregated indicator aimed at measuring the overall impact of transport (all modes) and transport infrastructure on the environment. This indicator was developed on behalf of the Flemish Government Department LNE within the framework of "Flanders in action: pact 2020 - a new future pact for Flanders 2020".
The indicator considers five main effects and 11 sub-indicators and was calculated for the period 2000 - 2009. The five main effects are nuisance, biodiversity and habitat, impact of air pollution, climate change, and material use. The calculation showed that the overall impact of transport and its infrastructure decreased. This overall impact follows the decrease in the indicators for nuisance, air pollution impact, climate change, and material use between 2000 and 2009.
For more information on the construction of the indicator and the underlying trends, please refer to the final report.
