The Power to Move in The World
The world stands on the brink of historic change. The escalation of the climate crisis has brought us to a state of emergency that demands a bold response as highlighted in the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) special report on Global Warming. Poor air quality in urban areas has become one of the major causes of illness and premature death worldwide. These issues disproportionately affect the most vulnerable, the poorest, the elderly, women and children.
Transport is the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions accounting for one-third of missions in cities and up to 25% of harmful particulate matter in the air. Rethinking how we move around our shared landscapes is central to the effort to combat emissions. From offering free public transport during rush hour and tax discounts to electric cars, to building green corridors through public cycling systems, introducing bus rapid transit systems, and expanding pedestrian only zones, decisive action is already making a difference.
However, we need to go further. More than 100 cities have already committed to develop Climate Action Plans consistent with the 1.5Β°C global warming target of the Paris Agreement. More than 30 cities have already committed to the C40 Green and Healthy Streets Declaration, pledging to take transport actions by 2030 to achieve that ambition The benefits of bold climate action in cities have an immediate, tangible impact on peopleβs lives, from green jobs and growth, to active, healthier lives and cleaner air and water. Climate action will create the future we want. Together, we have the power to safeguard the future of our planet. As mayors with a unifying mission to create positive change, we hope what you discover here will further inspire you to make your mark.
