Final 5/53 Neuhauser (USTUTT), ICARUS cities 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Air pollution and climate change are two major environmental concerns worldwide. Many cities in Europe and globally are affected by air pollution and are at the same time major contributors to the emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHG). Effective city, national, EU level policies and measures to reduce emissions will have to consider the interest of citizens for clean air and will simultaneously have to rely on the feasibility of interventions of achieving these very goals. Notwithstanding the air quality improvements within European Member States in recent decades, a significant proportion of Europe's population lives in cities where exceedances of air quality standards occur particularly regarding particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxides (NO2) and ozone (O3). This situation is deemed to have a major adverse impact on human health. The analysis of emissions data show that urban areas are responsible for almost 70% of European CO2 emissions with urban transport accounting for 70% of the air pollutants and 40% of the GHG emission of European road transport. Despite the clear interconnections between Carbon Footprint (CFP), air quality (AQ) and GHG, the policies to control emissions and to improve air quality are still considered separately arriving often to contradictory results. ICARUS aims at developing an integrated approach to address simultaneously the needs for reductions in air pollution levels of cities and to identify the appropriate
