ECF becomes a founding member of PATH – Partnership for Active Travel and Health. The new coalition calls on governments to make a concrete commitment to walking and cycling as a solution to the climate, health and equity challenges we face today.
The European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF) is proud to announce it has become a founding member of the Partnership for Active Travel and Health (PATH). PATH is a new global alliance calling on governments and individual cities around the world to make a stronger commitment to promoting active travel, walking and cycling as the key remedy to address today’s challenges by encouraging and accelerating the achievement of the climate targets of reducing carbon emissions and promoting more sustainable and healthier mobility for citizens.
Coordinated by a core group made up of the FIA Foundation, Walk21, ECF and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), together with other members, PATH aims to promote, invite and, above all, enable more people to walk and cycle safely as the key to achieving the Paris Agreement on climate change.
To showcase its ambitions, PATH has published a new report entitled Make way for walking and cycling, based on research and studies highlighting the benefits of active travel to people’s health and the environment.
