“The world’s population is constantly increasing. To accommodate everyone, we need to build modern, sustainable cities.” – The Global Goals This #WorldBicycleDay, we’re spotlighting five cities leading the way on sustainable urban transport in our #SustainableDevelopmentGoals series — with a focus on SDG 11, particularly targets 11.2 (inclusive, safe, and sustainable transport) and 11.6 (reducing urban environmental impact). Biking instead of driving reduces air pollution and traffic congestion, and bikes are more affordable than cars (although still out of reach for many of the world's poorest people). Every pedal forward brings us closer to a healthier planet and a more sustainable future 🚴‍♀️ #WorldBicycleDay #SDG11 #ClimateAction #UrbanMobility #BikeForChange #PopulationConnection #SustainableCities (fb)
