According to the WHO, more than 3.5 million people are being killed each year by the air that they breathe in urban areas, and the number is rising.

A study of 27 OECD countries plus South Africa finds that under-taxing company cars amounts to an average annual subsidy per car of EUR 1,600, ranging from just EUR 57 in Canada to EUR 2,763 in Belgium. The total cost across the 28 countries examined is estimated for 2012 at EUR 26.8 billion of foregone tax revenues, according to the reports. The environmental and social costs are higher still. Increased contributions to climate change, local air pollution, health ailments, congestion and road accidents from the under-taxation of company cars in OECD countries is estimated to cost EUR 116 billion.
