COP 26 and Cycling

COP 26 and Cycling Sixty-four cycling organizations have sent a list of suggestions to boost cycling levels in a letter to the Conference of the Parties which is a global United Nations summit about climate change. COP26 is attended by countries that signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) - a treaty agreed to in 1994. Some of suggestions, (thanks to TreeHugger.com) include: Promoting cycling in all its forms, Recognising cycling as a climate solution, establishing a clear link between how an increase in bicycle trips and a decrease in private car trips reduce CO₂ emissions Creating and financing national cycling strategies Collecting data on cycling Investing in high-quality cycling infrastructure and in incentives for communities historically marginalised from cycling Providing other incentives for people and businesses to switch to bicycles for more of their daily trips Decreasing our reliance on the private car by increasing multi-modal options and Committing to and tracking a global target of higher cycling levels.
