Description
| Description
|
Show the importance of cycling to achieve the new UN Sustainable Development Goals, with special attention to climate action.
Showcase the ambitions of cities to increase the modal share of cycling worldwide and to double cycling in Europe by 2020
Mobilize support of WCA and ECF members to enable local, national and international governments and institutions to scale up action on cycling.
|
| Objectives
|
Double list of cities and regions with concrete targets in the next years.
|
| Activities
|
In 2016, ECF and WCA will continue to collect ambitions and flagship projects from cities worldwide, adding to the current list of cities with cycling targets published in 2015 in their Voluntary Commitment brochure “Cycling Delivers on the Global Goals.”
Further to mobilizing and supporting scale-up action on cycling, ECF continues to organize its annual global summit on cycling – Velo-city – that in 2016 took place in Taipei, Taiwan. In addition, WCA is now campaigning for the United Nations General Assembly to recognize and designate a World Bicycle Day in an effort to push cycling higher on the agenda and promote it as delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals and as an important means of transportation.
