Green and Non-Motorised Transport

Many urban residents in developing and emerging economies rely on Cycling or walking but with economic expansion and growth, the Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) share in transport systems is under threat. However, NMT or Active Transport (AT) bears a relevant potential in low carbon transport scenarios and in urban mitigation action.

Cycling, for instance, is very beneficial to the human and natural environment. Around fifty per cent of all trips in cities are short and within cycling distance. The protection (and revitalisation) of cycling in Asia, for instance, and the promotion of cycling elsewhere, such as in South Africa, have to become an ingredient in comprehensive mobility plans to mitigate GHG emission in developing country parties of the IPCC. Cycling is great for avoiding emissions, poverty alleviation and development.
