About Lesson

The first question we can ask ourselves is: Why it is necessary to pay attention to greenhouse gas emissions produced by transport in the context of the environmental aspects of sustainable mobility?

There is a handout with basic terms: Handout.

An audio recording of the handout is available here.

In the text material you can study the main terms and their definition. The terms will be used in other study materials.

For example, read how approaches to calculating greenhouse gas emissions in transport differ (Well-to-Wheel, Tank-to-Wheel, Well-to-Tank approach) and think about whether an electric car is really completely emission-free?

Basic information about the definitions can also be found in the appendix in the form of an audio recording.

Watch the following video.

Think and try to answer the following questions:

  • How do you assess the impact of humans on planet Earth?
  • What negative impacts of humans on planet Earth did you see in the video?
  • What positive impacts of humans on planet Earth did you see in the video?
  • What is the state of planet Earth? Is it “5 minutes past 12 o’clock”, is it “12 o’clock” or is it “5 minutes past 12 o’clock”?
  • Does humanity and planet Earth still have a chance?

Watch the following video.


Think and try to answer the following questions:

  • Think about this statement: “Nature does not need people… People need nature”.
  • Do you agree with this statement?
  • If yes, why?
  • If no, why?
  • Do you think humanity can ever get to a point in the future where it doesn’t really need nature?

An important motto to remember:

“Nature does not need people…
…people need nature”
