Climate change is the biggest global health threat of this century, imposing major negative health consequences for people, especially those from disadvantaged communities. The European Commission recently adopted a set of proposals within the framework of the European Green Deal to meet its climate goals. To mitigate climate change, reducing air pollution is essential. As people with low socioeconomic status are often asked to make the biggest sacrifice, we aimed to show the case of Rotterdam’s green transport inclusivity by combining data on the number of public transport stops and registered cars in the city’s neighbourhoods with the social score of those neighbourhoods. Our findings showed that the higher the social score of a neighbourhood, the lower the number of public transport stops and the higher the number of cars per household. This resulted in four policy recommendations: (1) Address low green transport use in neighbourhoods with a high social score; (2) Implement proportional financial penalties for non-electric car use; (3) Make public transport accessible for all; (4) Exchange good practices with other cities. These steps are needed to enhance the climate agenda at the local level. We argue that these recommendations are also relevant for the EU’s agendas on NCDs prevention, economic development and urban planning.
