The partnership provides an opportunity to bring the voice of railways into the #EUClimatePact
#MyWorldOurPlanet #EUTransport
#Railway - both #passenger and #freight - is key to decarbonisation of transport, but as not treated as the key asset by the EU, and instead let to national govs, who have no top view or responsibility, but mostly promote their national rail companies' interests.
This needs to change.
